Seafoam

Similar experience here with a Honda Prelude, only last a couple a months. I think it does remove some surface carbon, but the thick crusted carbon on the piston top

Similar experience here with a Honda Prelude, only last a couple a months. I think it does remove some surface carbon, but the thick crusted carbon on the piston top is what caused the knocking.

My mechanic showed me a piston with the crusted carbon. It would take some hard work to scrape off with a screw driver. There is no way that seafoam can remove that.

A better solution is to prevent the carbon buildup by using fuel treatment periodically.

Just my 2 cents.
