Can I deglaze the cylinders without a complete tear-down?
In the large majority of cases, cylinder glaze is carbon build-up in the cylinder cross-hatch grooves. This hard carbon, a result of poor or inefficient combustion, builds up over time in the cross hatch micro grooves of the cylinder, and becomes mirror smooth due to the piston ring's polishing effect. In the past, the only way to deglaze cylinders meant a complete engine tear-down. However, a better alternative is to use FTC Decarbonizer in the fuel. It is a safe, very low-cost, and completely effective method of oxidizing (burning off) carbon deposits, including cylinder glaze, piston ring groove deposits, etc. Over the years, thousands of engines have been spared from an engine rebuild by using FTC Decarbonizer. When many engines are rebuilt to overcome problems such as excessive oil use, low compression, and blow-by, etc., it is very often found that they are not excessively worn, but are only heavily carboned-up, particularly on the cylinder bores and in the ring grooves. These are the types of engines that can be effectively recovered with FTC Decarbonizer - preventing a rebuild, saving valuable time and hard-earned money. Find out more here...
“My Peterbilt 389 with the ISX-15 was burning tons of oil and had bad blowby. It’s got around 500,000 miles on it. I was going through about 3 gallons of oil every 1400 miles. So I started using the FTC Decarbonizer I got from you, hoping I wouldn’t have to get a rebuild. Within about a month the blowby had slowed down a lot! And the oil burning is right down too, now I only need to take 1 gallon of oil with me instead of 3 or 4 gallons. I’m confident that will improve more as I keep using the FTC Decarbonizer. I’ll use the Flushing Oil Concentrate in about 3,000 miles when the oil change is due. Hoping that’ll tidy up the last of the oil burning. Thanks for your help.”
