Drag racing :burnout: :thumbsup3:

That'll burn off anything.. :patriot:

To remove carbon from the combustion chambers and valves, spray a VERY fine mist of water into the air intake while the engine is fast idling (1000-1500 rpm). The water mist turns to steam inside of the cylinders and softens up the carbon. Then the carbon gets blown out the tailpipes.

Make sure the mist of water is a VERY fine mist, and run the engine for about 30 minutes. This will remove damned near every bit of carbon and won't hurt your engine at all.

Without having done this myself, I've been told this method (and the chemical spray method) will cause degrading of the CATs.

If anyone knows this for sure let us all know. :seeya:

What evidence of carbon buildup are you experiencing?

Could I get my wife to believe that this is the best method? :thumbsup:

If you can't I feel sorry for you. Let me help you with the logic here.....

BS-ON
"Carbon buildup causes excessive wear on an engine because the carbon deposits hinder the circulation of oil. Carbon also reduces fuel efficiency - and we can't have that! See these engines were designed to run clean at high horsepower - and my usual docile driving is partially to blame for the buildup. The best way to remove carbon buildup is to burn it off the same way you'd prevent the buildup in the first place - high horsepower output. The safest way is in a controlled environment such as a drag strip or track - like the professionals do. Now, you can only burn off the carbon in stages so it will take several trips to the track. 3 or 4 should do it ...(wait for the response - then add) ... This month (or quarter - whatever you think you could get away with).... The alternative is a costly breakdown of the engine by a mechanic or eventual costly engine failure - and we don't want that now do we..... I'll get started next weekend.."
:ownedbutton:


My wife knows the quantity of BS is equal to my desire to do something. :pigsfly:

But she's guilty of the same thing...

If anyone doubts that water will remove carbon from the engine's combustion chambers, take a good look at any engine that has had a blown head gasket. The cylinder (where the gasket was blown) is spotlessly clean; EVERY BIT of the carbon in that cylinder is gone.

Spraying a fine mist of water into an engine to remove carbon is an old trick that goes back to the beginning of time. It only takes 30 minutes to do, and it will remove every bit of the carbon.

Would you recommend a water injection kit?
