How do I get rid of rock hard carbon that causes piston rings to stick?
The problem of piston rings sticking is due to hard baked-on carbon in the ring grooves. This carbon virtually cements the rings solid, restricting the rings ability to expand and seal effectively against the cylinder wall, resulting in compression loss and increased engine blow-by. The carbon has accumulated over a long period of time and is usually rock hard. There is a large window of opportunity to correct this problem before wear and breakdown becomes a serious issue. By introducing 2 remarkably effective products to the maintenance routine of an engine, the heavy, rock hard carbon can be eliminated, restoring compression and oil control. Find out more…
“A customer’s Peterbilt CAT 3406 had a lot of issues. Blowby, a fair bit of exhaust smoke, and down on power. Everything was pointing to sticking rings. We got the Blowby pack and did the oil flush and started using the Decarbonizer. He said that for the first 200 miles or so nothing was different. Then suddenly everything changed, and the engine was running incredibly well, and now has none of the problems it had before. The products worked well, solved his problems, and he’s very happy with the result. He wants more for his other trucks.”
