Short of removing them from the cylinder head and power wire brushing them that is. Do any of those mechanic-in-a-bottle concoctions / snake oils work? I'll try anything at this point. What about MMM and Seafoam? If I use a top tier gas brand (yes, I had been only buying convenience store cheap stuff) how many tanks before I see results, if any? Lastly, what about a so-called fuel injection services -- do they address intake valve deposits?
I'm trying to cure chronic pinging that has not been alleviated by the use of premium, using cold plugs, the tweaking of ignition timing, EGR, etc. It also surges when the engine is cool; both problems directly related to deposits on intake valves according to the e-experts.
