Is carbon build up an issue?

[Doc]

I would like to see a system where a fitting is placed on the air intake stream, like a nitrous nozzle that allowed a cleaning agent to be used occasionally to hit the valves with some sort of cleaning agent or fuel.

You should Benchmark that ..Good Idea ! Yup

Ford began installing oil separators on the 2.3 Eco a while back and do appear to work very well. Most of what the catch cans collect is a watery fuel mix from the PCV blow-by with very little oil. I'm at 10K miles on mine and ran a bore scope up into the intake and looked at the valves and was surprised at how clean they were. There was virtually no deposits at all on the valves and running a cleaning agent like Seafoam or Techron cleaner would certainly keep them that way. Based on that installing a catch can is likely not to make much of an improvement.

I think you're 100% on point with this logic. I just bought a boroscope, but I'm having trouble figuring out where to access the intake valves without having to remove the entire manifold? So far I've only been able to check cam lobes through the oil filler. ? That's Pennzoil ultra platinum after 800 miles, BTW.

Did you ever figure where to get the borescope into the intake to see the valves?

You may be a candidate for the Boomba intake manifold spacer since the individual ports are tapped for injectors of some sort.

Use the boost part in ecoboost alot and the air pressure will help keep things flowing. I work for VW for a while, long while. The only cars we didn't see carbon issues were from some 16 yr old punk with a GTI. The rest of the car was falling apart but them intake valves sparkled

To see the top of the intake valves, you go... through the intake.

I PERSONALLY BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE ARE JUMPING THE GUN HERE AND BEING A BIT PARANOID. THE FORD DEALERSHIP I WORK FOR HASN'T SEEN ANY OF THIS WITH THE RANGERS 2.3

I can’t hear you ..
