Was watching a CRC (and a couple other) GDI cleaner video yesterday showing how GDI engine intake valves get carboned up over a period of time. I can buy all that, but in the CRC and one other video, it mentioned that not cleaning the hardened carbon can cause carbon to be dislodged from the valves, into the combustion chamber, and into the Catalytic converter, and Result In catalyst damage.
Which brings me to my question:
If I use a GDI cleaning product, such as the CRC or other brand, would having that carbon coming off the valves also result in the same damage described earlier? After all, the carbons gotta go somewhere..
I was wanting to do something like (valve cleaning) this to a GDI engine, and even though every product I have seen says "safe for Catalytic Converters, it makes me wonder what the difference is as far as carbon is concerned?
