Ok, have it your way; here is 17 pages worth of 3.5 carbon valve problems on the 3.5 Ecoboost
More reading.
There's more........A lot more.......
BTW, EGR has nothing to do with DI carbon issues. (Or next to nothing for those of you that want to split hairs.)
I never said there is zero carbon buildup on non EGR DI engines. Even port injected valves will have some carbon buildup on them over time. I said it is not a major issue or will cause engine failure like the DI engines with EGR. The soot from the exhaust gasses being re-introduced into the intake on a direct injected engine compounds this problem making it a major engine issue leading to engine failure.
As of today, have never heard of carbon buildup causing engine failures on a 3.5L Ecoboost or any other sluggish condition that a few minutes of "driving it like you stole it" won't fix like on port injected engines.
