Just thought I'd share this with you, I'm making a three part video for cleaning the intake valves using 3 different methods to see if any or all of them work.
I've made and posted the first 2 videos with plans to make the third video using the walnut blast method soon. The videos include visual inspections of the valves and a power run before and after the cleaning process.
The car has had a new cylinder head at 60,000 miles due to a manufacturing fault and oil usage. The car now uses little to no oil and has 150,000 miles on it. Interestingly enough, I've kept a fuelly log since the car was new and the trip computer used to over estimate my mpg fuel consumption by 5% but now the fuel consumption claimed is near enough Identical to what I actually get, it has got more accurate as the mileage has got higher.
Here are the links:
Also here is an oil extractor video on a EA211 engine, it doesn't get all the oil and I really tried my best to get as much as possible, so don't change your oil this way. However I have used this machine on the EA888 and got nearly all the oil, so depends on the engine.
