Just wondering if anyone has used this stuff? is supposed to quieten down the tappets just by adding a bottle to the oil. Some people on the ford probe site have said it works well so am curious as mine is still a bit noisy even after a flush and some new oil!

dunno mate, but be sure to let us know of the results, sounds interesting...

No harm in trying. Fully synthetic oil and 2 engine flushes cured my hla rattle.

Have you tried Forte products - Top End Treatment and a Engine Flush then new oil = big difference?!

Put some top end in yesterday, already feels much smoother, engines pulling and revving cleanly all the way up to 6000ropm :D

Thought i'd give the AF sensor and the throttle body a clean too, so i bought a can of X-tend air intake and carburettor cleaner, not used it yet, supposed to spray it into the intake pipe and the open end of the PCV valve (whatever that is??????).

Anyone used this kind of thing????

Right....

PCV VALVE

Definition: The Positive Crankcase Ventilation valve is an emissions control device that routes unburned crankcase blowby gases back into the intake manifold where they can be reburned. The PCV system is one of the oldest emission control devices, and also one of the most beneficial. Besides totally eliminating crankcase emissions as a source of air pollution, the constant recirculation of air through the crankcase helps remove moisture which otherwise would cause sludge to form. Thus the PCV valve extends the life of the oil and engine. The PCV valve requires little maintenance. The valve and filter should be replaced somewhere around 30,000 to 50,000 miles (see the vehicle owners manual for service intervals).


I'm thinking this is the pipe from the rocker cover (by the dizzy) to the intake pipe, wasn't aware there was a valve involved

That will explain what the gubbins is on the inside of the head cover

'Icked boss :D

What did you use to clean your TB and MAF?????

I serviced Edith on Saturday - the usual story; replaced the oil, oil filter and fuel filter, washed/oiled the air filter, and also replaced the gearbox oil (with Fuchs Titan semi synthetic 75w90). While I was at it, I decided to have another bash at the throttle body. I tried last service, but couldn't get the one bolt off (the recessed one) so I settled for squirting Wynns Carb Cleaner down it.

Anyway, since then, I've bought a decent 1/4" drive 12mm socket, so this time I could remove the TB. It was ing - seems the Wynns didn't do that much good. Anyway, I found the perfect cleaning technique - WD40 and my Braun/OralB electric toothbrush !! I gave the TB a good polishing, then washed again with de-greaser and rinsed thouroughly under the tap, and it came out absolutely sparkling !!! There definately seems to be a bit of improvement in idling & smoothness ...

When I do the throttle body/butterfly valve, I just use a brush and scrub it clean - it's a bit less messy than use carb cleaner etc.
