I have a 63 j200 gladiator with a 350 chev in it and it has flattop pistons. It was built in 1980 and the only way I could run pump gas was to use water injection. It was a kit from holley. It worked like a windshield washer tank with a jet mounted over the middle of the carb on the stud for the aircleaner. It used a vaccum sensor to since low vavvum and would squirt water when you opened the carb up. When I took it apart it was spotless. The only thing is the oil needs to be about 200 degrees to burn the water off so I had to put a 200 degree thermostat in it. I used distilled water in it and kept a gallon jug in the bed to fill it up every second fillup.
That orison stuff might be a good cleaner for a parts washer and it might work on the tops of the pistons with the heads off but you won't get the ring grooves clean without taking the cylinders off. |
