4cyl EB reliability

[Cobra Jet]

For reliability, I believe this M6G member @omelet1978 has the highest miles driven to date on a S550 EB (at time of his post about to pass 150,000 miles):

Yeah there must be hundreds of thousands of cars out there now on the 2.3L engine platform, and you dont here about a hell of lot of major issues despite the numbers.

142k today. On a Valencia engine no less. Good car, but can be broken like anything else. Mine is auto with 3.31 and is great cruising. Loves to run along at 90 all day long.

Yes.......Sold my 15' EB with 51K miles. New owner scoped it and found nothing but normal wear. Used this on a regular basis.

Exactly. That stuff about every 10k miles.

How does that help though ? No fuel flows over the valves ?

It doesn't and it won't. I used it as an injector cleaner. Probably didn't need to but I got it for free so I figured it couldn't hurt.

I use it to clean the injectors and combustion chambers. Not likely it has any effect on the intake valves.
