8 best products for detoxification of piston rings

As the engine runs, piston and lube rings get covered in carbon and soot fouling (slash). This kind of plaque makes it hard for them to move, making it harder to prevent oil from getting into the combustion chambers and creating compression. Different products are developed for coke removal. We have studied customer reviews, as well as product specifications, and present to you a rating of the best means for cracking piston rings. This will help you choose a product by quality and price, as well as by the way it is used on the car.

True, after starting the engine, there is a very thick smoke, so the raskoksovki procedure should be carried out only outdoors, not in the garage.

Our experts put the Japanese product on the first place in the ranking, because the casing fluid penetrates deeply into the parts and cleans the piston rings even from the back side, significantly increasing their mobility.

We gave the penultimate place in the ranking to Verylube, which is a subsidiary of Xado, a product for cracking piston rings. The substance is designed to remove tar deposits and sludge in the cylinder-piston group. The product is pumped into the warm engine through the nozzle sockets. There is a rolled up tube under the lid of the can for this purpose. Auto-chemicals are safe for rubber seals and oxygen sensors. It will not damage the catalytic converters behind the lambda probe. Reviews show that the product does its job well. Another plus that buyers like is the economical flow rate – 5 seconds of supply to each “pot”. This amounts to enough cleaner for up to 5 four-cylinder engines.

This product is worthy of a place in the rating of the best, because it is suitable for internal combustion engines that run on both gasoline and diesel fuel. It is rare among foam type preparations. Fast-acting compound is designed for stale coke on rings and pistons from diesel fuel, so it will be of interest to owners of these types of vehicles.

After the treatment it is enough to drive 5 km or to stop on the spot so that the swollen soot is burnt and you can see the translucent smoke coming out of the exhaust.

The special development of this product for removing the soot from piston rings in the piston system is for Russian gasoline. The Belgian company took samples from different regions, in order to create a product exclusively for fighting with oils and impurities present in the domestic fuel. After a thorough study of the chemical analysis of gasoline, the company developed a unique formula. Another plus of the product for decontamination is a relatively affordable price, despite the imported quality. But you can not buy it in every city in Russia, so it is placed in last place in the rating.

• improves valve operation;
• Eliminates detonation of the engine;
• not harmful for the catalytic converter.

Disadvantages

• Not suitable for diesel engines;
• not available everywhere;
