ok, i have been in email contact with frank and ordered a bottle of auto-rx from him. im going to be honest here. im skeptical about auto-rx cleaning an engine. the only thing i have found to clean an engine good is automatic transmission fluid. however, i am going to do this with an open mind and an honest hand. i took "before" pictures when i had to change a valve cover gasket. when i took the pictures i used alot of lighting and a sunny day to try and get a good view "into" the crevices of the cylinder head. i will use this same technique when i take the "after" pictures.
the car is a 1996 kia sephia with a 1996 mazda miata bp-5 engine. its got 60K miles, all of which have been with a good quality dino oil, be it havoline, castrol or delo 400. it has only seen 3K mile oil changes, and purolator oil filters. i have an oil pressure guage from stewart warner installed which says i have 12psi oil pressure at idle, and about 50psi at 4000rpm's. this is a little on the low side.
this will be my thread where i show my expierence with auto-rx.
