Shiner, Ford was killing two birds with one stone.
Do you have an official word from Ford on that or any other data proving that carbon buildup causes major engine issues or is it just an assumption like Scott's?
You guys keep saying it is an issue, but have yet to prove it with factual data where carbon buildup on the Ecoboost or Ecotec engines caused major power loss, compression loss, or any other major issue.
On the other hand, others and myself have posted personal experiences and factual data of owners going well past 150k miles with zero carbon issues like you are stating happens at that mileage. I also posted an article from a reputable source where Ford, GM, and an aftermarket engineer who has substantial experience with DI carbon buildup issues with many makes stating that this is not an issue on all DI engines and is mainly from DI engines with dirty EGR systems.
You guys that don't own or never have owned the engine in question should stop scaring the OP with your false claims unless you can come up with data to back it up.
