Hey all,
Doing a partial rebuild on my 2004 Passat with the 2.8L 30V V6. It had a timing slip and bent all the center intake valves. I've got parts on the way, but while I'm waiting, I'd like to do some cleanup.
I'm not super excited about all that buildup, considering she gets a steady diet of VW 502.00 Castrol Syntec at the manufacturer's recommended OCI, but it's neither here nor there. It's all getting torn apart to install and lap in new valves; I'd like to clean them up before reassembly. There's lots of opinions on what to use as an additive in a running car, but I'm having trouble finding good ideas for something to use off-car during the rebuild. Any ideas?
