Lightbulb Gunk engine flush wow

Just used Gunk engine flush first time and wow did it make a difference for my engine I regained some lost power must of freed up my rings it was so noticeable jumped in went to the store and it was like wow she wants to GO.

Drained out the oil filter but didn’t open it up like I want to but can’t see sawing the thing open?

As I said drained the oil filter into a thick Pyrex bowl to see what came out and found a good thin film of particles on the bottom with a few very small amount of metal flakes, the particles looked like dried up crystal oil chip bits that were probably in my piston rings.

I like Gunk engine flush looks like I need to do it again in November looking down my oil filler port she still has a good film of tar in there I use Mobile 1 so not sure why I see this?

Have you every used Seafoam? The reason I was asking is to see which one gave you better results.

Smile well sort of

I dumped about 7 OZ. of seafoam in last week so the flush was a combo of seafoam and Gunk.

My understanding is seafoam works slowly to clean but Gunk dose a fast clean.

Strange but on the web everyone says wait 15 minutes but the bottle instructions call for 5 minutes I did 7 minutes at idle and my engine barely got warm in 7 minutes.

But it was a success.

and seafoam is for more then just your oil its supose to be 1/3 oil, 1/3 vacume, 1/3 gas the vacume is a bit harder to do my buddy has a a machine that turns it into a mist and its alot easier to do

well i might go get some gunk and try it. Right now I got sea foam in my oil. After all the gunk from my intake nipple from the PCV valve, I figured it might help.
