I dropped by a restorer house and asked him about my engine.
Spitting out oil out the exhaust pipes. Excessive oil usage. He suggested adding a bit of diesel fuel. Said it might help with removing carbon from heads,etc. Long story short: Car ran way way cooler at 75 MPH. Engine revved so smoothly up to any RPM. Whats the deal???. Topped up tank,now back to normal. I am a believer though,engine sounded like a new motor for a while. Anyway seems worth mentioning,was really surprised how my car could run. Cheers. |

Diesel works, but don't do it too often. Also it will kill a catalytic converter.
Water you are playing with fire, pour too much in and you will bend your rods. WW2 aircraft had emergency water or water/methanol injection, boosted power up to 50%. It had a seal the pilot had to break, the seal told the mechanic that it was used, as it greatly shortened the life of the engine. Look up War Emergency Power (WEP). |
