So...Since I bought my car back in Dec 31st 2012 I have NEVER had the engine completely gone over. My fear in finally reading a lot on this website is that nasty little Intake Valve Coking problem...Would it be a good idea to just clean out the Intake Valves as a preventative measure to even just see how bad off they are? I have by no means driven my car Hard but I sure haven't been overly nice to it..it's been boosted a couple times before warm up..it's been boosted at low revs before. I JUST cancelled my warranty like..2 months ago -.-.

 

its always a good idea to clean LNF valves if it has never been done before. They can get nasty and it doesn't matter whether or not you've driven it hard.

 

Aight, there's a good post on the forum about how to do it. I estimate it will probably take...a weekend? Just EXTREMELY messy and probably gunna cost around 75-100 for the tools I need.

 

Sigh...I rather pay the 600 for someone else to.

 

I might start to agree with you the closer I get to talking myself into this -.-

Talked to two shops in Eugene..they say 157.00 to do it. I call BS and they don't know what they are talking about

 

Don't forget to buy Powell's seperator too.

 

Did u tell them to walnut blast?

 

Yeah I did and they just contantly argued with me. I told them all to forget it. I'll do it myself. Once I have 400 bucks I'll grab the Separator. Should have that within the next paycheck. I've read a lot about it. Brilliant idea. While I'm doing the blasting I'm just going to clean the entire engine, do a really deep detail, get a new filter and cone on the K&N, I'm already going to be in there. Just get it over with lol.
