The only way I have seen that happen is when someone drives into a water puddle so deep that the motor can only breath water.

Oddly enough, I have tried many things to clean the carbon off of valves. I have tons of carbon crusted valves. I have tried all kinds of shit. the only thing I have found that works is abrasives.

I have tried seafoam too. I can tell you it does not chean carbon off of valves. It might clean oil out of your intake, but thats it.

Want me to go waste $10 and 30minutes of my life to prove it dosent work?

I can make a video..

Your carbon must be harder than mine because I have proved atf to work on engines. The 4.3 vortech motors were always getting carboned up and the only fix that has ever worked for me is atf, I have torn one down afterwards and been impressed. Yes prove it doesn't work, I have already proven it does or I wouldn't bother.

I have loose valves. I will soak it, rub it, scrub it, heat it up with a tourch and repeat if you want.

It only works on a running engine, soaking valves in atf will not help. Have you ever seen the way atf burns. It's detergents really work well there. I have seen what it does inside my waste oil furnace as well. ATF is more detergent than lubricant.

I add atf to the oil on all my vehicles a few days before the oil change. If the motor is really nasty I'll mix half a quart in with the new oil. My ranger took about 4 changes using atf in every change to really clean it out. At 3000 miles my oil is still honey colored now. I push it to 5000 every time. That motor is more abused than any of these v8 engines ever thought about. a v8 would have exploded within the first 5000 miles of my abuse. I beat the crap out of this truck pushing the 4cyl for all it is worth. It surprises most but i wish I could get a smooth idle with the cam I am using and still make the same power. Idle takes the sleeper effect away.

Explain how it only works on a running engine?

I don't have a huge explanation but I know it works, heat, fire compression could be any number of things. The constant air and fuel crossing it could play a huge role. I need to try to dig up the pictures of my 230,000 mile ranger motor that had this treatment right before being taken out.
