Thread: Removing carbon deposits with water???

Tweet

A good hard run on an open road works best for blowing the crud out. It also blows the crud out of the old brain cells! Win-win! (As long as the Dudleys don't get ya!)

Thanks for the info guys,

This is a great forum! I dont run any emissions equipment. Tennessee doesnt require them(yet) . Being a daily driver, I give the engine a good workout weekly . I run 93 octane and was under the impression that higher octane fuels have a tendacy to build carbon. I do have a high voltage coil and hot plugs, so I think I am keeping most of it at bay. I am still kind of reserved about the water induction. I will look for the products mentioned.

Going for a cam change with new springs, seals, chain, retainers, pushrods and such, and wanted to provide the best flow opportunity without removing the heads.
