So I've talked about my troubling engine in the past but I havnt done anything. I've just sat in idle and read more and more posts on the forum. Anyways, I got a carboned up piston with a frozen oil ring and I poured some b12 on it. I instantly released the oil ring which has gotten me excited.i plan on doing a piston soak on the current engine to hopefully get some result. I am thinking that assuming the piston soaks free the oil rings ill still need something to clean them over time. Will the detergents in oil suffice or should I add some sort of additive like kleen? And why is it that u can drive wi kleen in ur oil but not with b12 in your oil?
My over all plan is to add 1.5oz of b12 per qt of oil and let it run at idle for 10 mins. Drain the oil, drive 2k on the new oil soak the pistons over night. Change the oil again and maybe use something like MMO or kleen in the oil and repeat the cycle of 2k oil change intervals with a piston soak at the end. Although I plan on only doing 3-4 piston soaks and if I don't see any results I'll be done with that. I'm Lso leaving the soaking for the end because I have to put like 400ml of b12 in each cylinder to fully submerge the piston thus a drain will be necessary.
I'd appreciate any input.
