Top engine cleaner seems to have worked.

The stuff dissolves crud on contact. My TB sparkles now.

- Truck had oily intake and crudded up TB.
- Also, had bad KR which caused very low timing.
- Bought AMW catch can and top end cleaner to try and cure oily intake and KR.
- Installed catch can and used top end cleaner.
- Truck ran like crap at first but, now runs great.
- Intake is clean, AMW catch can works, timing is way up, KR is non existant.
There ya go.

How did you spray it in the TB? Does it come in an aerosol? I did mine through the PCV on the old motor. It didn't make a lick of difference IMO, but maybe she was too far gone between EGR and PCV. I'm going to run a can through 6.0l since I didn't have the catch can on there for the first 3000 miles.

Mac and Chingon - Do you both want a case? You better pay me for this stuff after I buy it.
OBX - The Amsoil Power Foam sprayed outta an aerosol can. It came out as a foam, with the TB cracked a bit it got sucked right into the engine right around the TB blade. After seeing how much oil was in the catch can after a few hundred miles I would definately run a can through.
