Did you suction out the deep creep after letting it sit, or burn it off?

I looked around for oil ontop of the Pistons but did see any puddles so u assume it either "creeped" past the rings. I didn't use a whole can, just enough to wet the surfaces. Either way changing oil is a must do after this.

Thanks!  Did find a CRC product video on YT here:  CRC Intake Valve Cleaner on Motorhead Garage Industry Update

Newer cars with gasoline direct injected engines get to run a little rough after 5,000-10,000 miles. They build up a lot of carbon particularly on the intake valve because they no longer have the injector and the intake manifold washing that valve. It carbons up and your vehicle loses power, performance and fuel economy.
New CRC GDI IVD™ Intake Valve Cleaner reaches the intake valves at 150X the concentration of premium fuel additives. It's easy to use - go behind the mass air flow sensor, put the Permastraw into the intake system, spray a 30-second blast with the engine at 2,000 RPMs. CRC Intake Valve Cleaner lifts the carbon off the back side and the face of the intakes valves, helps to clean up the combustion chamber and restores power and performance. Also great for standard PFI gasoline engines! For more info and a $5 rebate, go to http://crcintakevalvecleaner.com

Looks like I'll be saving up for the BG service now. So much for a $10 cleaner in a can

Complete bg service in my area was 100 plus tax and shop fees.

I'll try and get some after pics as I have put about 5k miles since the cleaning was done.

Before pics and videos should be on this site somewhere.

Bristle brush attached to a power drill, after solvent soak?  Also, do you have to have piston TDC before you do the manual cleaning for that port, or anything like that?

Yes, precicely. TDC (or close to it, for full valve seat). A long shanked brush by hand, or by drill. B12 is an excellent choice for solvent. Allow to soak, and manually remove.

However, for those with a decent aircompressor, this is totally DIY at home WITH walnut media. You can buy tons of it off of the web for cheap. You'd need a decently high reserve, CFM compressor, a media blaster/hopper (which is like $30 or $40 and $30 worth of media. Solvent, a vacuum cleaner of course...maybe a few other odds and ends and your tool chest. Let the solvent soak, pump it out, blast it, vacuum out media...voila. All.we need is somebody with some spare time, materials and an camera for a how to. I could be that guy, buT I'm up to my eyeballs in other projects ATM.

I am having the BG Fuel/Intake service done tomorrow at my dealer - how are you getting pics and what are you taking pics of?

I have access to a pretty high-quality small inspection camera from my work. Taking detailed photos of intake valves before and after.

$100 is cheap compared to my quoted $160

Did anyone notice an improvement in drivability after the bg treatment? I may just try the sea foam spray thought the intake before an oil change. It's worth a try.

It seemed to smooth out my slightly rough idle and my highway gas mileage improved about 2 mpg.

On my recent vacation we drove about 3k miles round trip with a fully loaded trunk.
Still averaged 28mpg driving through the hills west va .

Yup, no harm done with SF, just make sure you get the right place/line to pump it through.  I recently had BG service done on my nonGDI Edge, and I can say that a lot of the hesitation during pedaltometal action is gone.  90% or more.  Of course, you have 44K coming through the fuel tank also, along with the air induction system cleaning

Do the bg service twice and you can be into a meth kit.

Anyone who has meth actually checked to see what their valves look like?  Anyone near Cleveland Ohio that wants to check? I have the equipment to do it if interested.

I have. They look spotless after only 600 miles of driving. I used an inspection cam to look at them just the other day.

You didn't happen to check before meth did you? How many miles on the odo before meth.
