I found a very good carbon remover.....
Plain old water. All you do is get a gallon of water and a long piece of vacuum hose. Hook the vacuum hose to a vacuum port on the engine, run the engine about 2500 rpm, and put the other end of the vacuum hose in the jug of water. The water will turn to steam when it hits the combustion chambers. The steam loosens and removes most of the carbon. The car will try to misfire and will run bad while you are doing this, but if it tries to die, just pull the hose out of the water. You get to spew lots of steam out of the exhaust too. (Ever seen the pistons on a water cooled car after a blown head gasket? They are clean as a whistle.) |
