oils

Just wondering if anyone out there knows of a type of oil that you can put into your car so it cleans the internals of your engine out? Ive heard around that HLA ticking is caused by crud in the HLA's. Also, is it safe to drive with detergent oils?

3 mins into the clip, were you reving it from your car or from the throttle control under the hood?

That sounds nasty man, almost kinda like piston slap. Dont take me as a pro though, i only really know sounds from motocross bikes.

the movie might be helpful though.
