Post for Carboned Valve photos

uberschnell · 04-24-2011, 09:56 PM

These carbon posts are really generating a ton of questions. I thought we could start a post with just photos of your intake valves for reference. Hopefully we could build up a good cross section of miles, mods, etc.

I'll start:

Car: 08 135i (N54)
Miles: 44K
Mods: None
Misc: Photos are immediately after a BG carbon cleaning service. Never cleaned before.

Here is mine and I believe that mine look good compared to others.
The secret in the better looking valves will be the catch can and the meth.

95k miles
Mr. 5 catch can installed at about 20k miles.
Meth installed once I hit around 60k miles.
Mods: Everything that can be done

BTW, I deleted the other posts so we can compare the pictures easily (since that was the point of this thread).
