Pam on powervalves?

[CR480R]

A guy told me the other day that his uncle uses pam cooking spray on his powervalves to help keep carbon deposits from building up... Supposedly after he cleans the valves he puts them in the oven and bakes a layer of pam onto them... was said to work great... I dont really know what to think of this... I kinda think it would just burn right off... What do you guys think? Anyone heard of or tried this?

I cant say I ever heard that before, but it sounds like it might work. I am actually building a 92 lt250r engine right now and maybe I will give it a shot.

pam contains refined canola oil ,grain alcohol and lecithin so as long as yo udont get the butter flavor or any crazy flavors other than original i dont see anything in the ingrediants that would make it turn tacky,gummy or cause burnt deposits in fact if you think about it would make perfect sense to use ,im sure theres better options though ,wd40 is 60% synthetic kerosene which is a powerful cleaning agent that breaks up oil and grease , no option is going to last for any length of time IMO

In the past couple of years ive found something i like better than WD-40. http://www.eurekafluidfilm.com/ I dont know about powervalves but my dad use to own a farm and he would order alot of this stuff. Unlike WD40 that will run off, This stuff sticks on until you wipe it off. Does wonders when it comes to cleaning and lubing.
