In Scottys perfect world, there no plastic engine covers

[JoaoPereira-sybh]

"so take the stupid cover off". That's why I love Scotty

[stockey]

All my Kia's did 200K plus and were still running great, when you take care of your car, it last a long time.

[webguy]

Amazing. The dealership wants over $250 to clean the intakes. Scotty did it for a couple of bucks and a few minutes.

[cesarguardiola]

My 2011 KIA Soul has over 207, 000 miles on it and still running like a champ. No major issues. Proper regular maintenance goes along way.

Now have over 230, 000 miles. Still going strong.

[daddypoorbucks]

I love that ANYTHING plastic Scotty calls stupid!!!🤣🤣🤣 he ain't wrong.

[ricvis]

I sprayed deep creep in my intake and immediately shut the engine off. I allowed it to soak in for about an hour and then I started my engine and immediately sprayed in more deep creep. Then I immediately shut the engine off again. Did thus a total of 8 times. I wish you could have seen the heads when i took them off! Impressive!

[philbradley]

Jeez. I have 5 ASEs and been working on cars awhile. But Scotty is still a major player and I could talk to this dude for hours.

[jeffgrantIS]

Scotty is the only person I don't know personally and trust 110% !! 🤣😂

[rogermorgan]

Love the fact Scotty made sure we knew the Kia was on its 2nd engine at least 20 times in the video. Love your videos bud. Keep up the good work my man. You are awesome

[tikitavi]

If I had a dollar for every time Scotty called me stupid...

[tssci]

A lot of that cleaner ends up in the bottom your intake and does not get into the cylinders, if it does, probably in different amounts, These intakes are designed for air flow not liguids. You need to perform a double oil change after one of these services. Huge amounts of GDI abrasive soot contaminates the oil, and the misfires that occur when ingesting this mostly oil and solvents will also contaminate the oil. I have oil analysis before and after and it is alarming how much hard particulates end up in the oil. The particulates are smaller than the average full flow filter can catch, thus the reason to change oil. My tests show it takes 2 oil changes with 20-50 miles to get all the cleaner, fuel and soot out of the engine.

[geoben]

Pretty cool how you taught the cat how to rev up the engine for you Scotty! Neither of mine want to learn.

[JeepDoctorPH]

i remembered you advised installing oil catch can on direct injection cars because oil mist from pcv needs to be collected by that catch can

[alexgrant]

Using the brake booster vacuum line is not really an option on modern GDI engines with a turbo, the manifold is under boost not vacuum. If you spray the cleaner in and the revs pickup then it will spit it out at you with the boost pressure, most turbo engines nowadays use a vacuum pump or if the brake booster line is on the manifold you only get vacuum when the engine revs are over idle speed and slowing down which causes the vacuum. Best place is either the hose after the air filter to the throttle or the pcv line to the air inlet before the turbo. Keep the revs at 1500rpm by jamming a stick on the gas pedal.

[steveauston]

Lol I'm still driving a 90s Ford. Had it for years. It's been an excellent car. Way less plastic, no gdi crap. I keep up on the oil changes and maintenance. Runs like a top👍 Cheers Scotty

[Jacko]

Just cleaned my EGR valve and intake manifold, as well as the throttle body on my Audi A4 2.0 TDI. Getting way better throttle response, less smoke out the exhaust and way better MPG. Definitely a must on diesels with an EGR valve.

[darrylmcleman]

I remember when we used to pour water down the carb with engine running and cloud of carbon came out of tailpipe!!! Cheers from Canadian Westcoast!!!

[Kohoso]

Installing a catch can at 10, 000 miles was one of the best mods so far. When I dump it out I am glad none of that oil is being burnt onto my valves.
