But hey, stay on topic now! Were talking about the valves here, not the pistons!

If we all took our heads off and cleaned our intakes with the above mentioned techniques, we woudln't be talking about Sea foam now would we? That is the GOAL - to find out the results of Sea Foam, before, and AFTER it is used by inspecting the valves with the heads of, before, and after.

Pardon my sarcasm but this is the second time I've intervened in the topic that I started to bring it back on topic.
yes there is.. kindly search the phrase "seafoam verdict" and scroll down some

yeah, but didn't he say something about the BHG also contributing to the cleaner pistons. also, like mentioned, he didn't show pics of the valves, so therefore it isn't relevant to the topic posted here, so the originator won't give a damn anyway...

Simple and cost effective solution to the problem is to get a indoscopic (spelling) camera and send it down into the deep. Right?? I think i recall seeing a advert for one around 150-200 bones. But anyways--they usually have little lights and are very flexible----blah blah. So take a before and after picture and BAM!!. I will research to see whether i can actually find one that can bend enough to make it through. This should give us a picture of the back of the valve(s). WHAT SAYS UDS??

Endoscopic cameras are used in medical surgeries, but the ones they use are rediculously expensive (at least 10x to 100x more than you mentioned). Show me where to get a guideable endoscope for $100-200 and I'll buy one on the spot.
