GDI engine sticking valves?

but but his trap speedz

 

First off, my goal was a reliable 300-400k mile engine.

Also, my piston rings were really questionable (dumped 4 or 5 cans of brake cleaner in all 8 cylinders) meaning I wasn't sure if after doing all that work I would be pulling the engine soon after for oil consumption.

 

Update.
Car fired right up and smoothe as hell.
No CEL or codes.

 

Oil catch cab on anything with a PCV valve, ANYTHING!

 

I reused the plugs and currently the same coils. Soaked the plugs in the carb cleaner...can't recall the brand name.
I believe all the codes and trouble was because of the fowled plugs and the oiled up/fowled mass air pressure sensor.

I cleaned and reused whatever was in/on the car.

Anyone want or need the cheapo hopper, walnut media and associated parts?
It's free for ya in San Diego.

 

Umm…

You couldn’t spring for new plugs?

 

Keep in mind these city folk don't know what sopping is.
