You guys missed the boat a long time ago.

FAA-certification. Engines that make a C18 Cat look cheap.
(And that’s as close as I’ll come to trolling).

The best thing I found for really cleaning the inside of an engine that’s been neglected is good synthetic oil. Had an 87 T-Bird Turbo Coupe that had some issues with sludge build up on the head when I bought it. Switched it to Amsoil, and a couple oil changes later it was amazingly clean. Then I ran way too much boost through it, and destroyed the rings. Sold it to some guy from out of town, and that’s the end of that story.

Hello folks.
I was just reading what others had experienced with Motorkote to see if it similar to my experience.
Some years ago I had a 1999 International Eagle with a 500hp series 6 pre-egr Detroit. It was running strong with 1,750,000 miles on it, and I thought I'd see if the stuff worked. (Only major motor work at that point was a new sleeve and piston at 750,000 due to a broken injector). Motor would use a little less than a gallon of oil between changes. I was using Delvac 15-40.
I did not expect to hear or feel any noticeable difference. ...but the motor was very noticeably smoother running, and quieter. Ran better under load, and at idle. Can't really recall if mpg was better but to hear the motor smooth out like it did was very surprising....(a full synthetic may of have had same results)
I'm going to try it in my 2013 Volvo 500hp D-13. Still using Delvac....I'll report back when I do.KB3MMX, Rideandrepair, Tombstone69 and 1 other person Thank this. -
Dale Sommers "The Truckin Bozo" said it works so that's good enough for me.
