This product is made to clean hydraulically actuated injectors (HEUI) in diesel engines; specifially to eliminate "stiction" (where oil deposits/varnish clog the small oil passages in the injectors):

The Original Stiction Eliminator - Hot Shot's Secret

Has anyone tried this to clean or free up sticking (ticking) tappets in our flat tappet cam followers? I believe some HAVE used the Lucas Oil Stabilizer in this manner.

 

have not, but I have 12 1gallon jugs of that stiction junk and no longer have a diesel truck to keep up

 

They also claim it cleans the turbo. Sorry, but this has "snake-oil" written all over it. I'm guessing it's 30 weight oil sold for $33.95 a quart. They just say "hotshot" in the name so you think people who know something buy it.

 

This junk? It does about what it says in a turbo diesel. You can try some from my surplus, if you want to ship

 

actually hot shot works ok ...I have used it in diesels ...but what is alot better is revx but its expensive it was made specificly for ford/international diesels and the stuff actually works I used it in my disco and it quieted down the valve train huge time and my 4.0 has the low oil pressure issue I put this stuff and even with the low oil pressure it is quiet ...I own a shop that does alot of ford powerstroke diesel work and the stuff is amazing on ford injectors has actually saved customers from having to replace faulty injectors ...just my .02 cents

 

What if I don't have a turbo?

 

Ha yeah , guess I threw that in, for no good reason. Just meant loud anyway cummins
