The one on the right. Like I said, it was sold as an oil additive but works for this too - put in in the gas tank. I'm used to it in a round can that you opened with a special tool that also formed a spout, but I'll bet most of y'all are too young to remember that. Hell, when I was yer age.......

What worked - Schaller Rislone. We put a quart in everyone's gas tank when we did an oil change and no more problems. It's sold as an oil supplement but it kicks tail in this application.

Is this what your talking about??

These are the oil/engine treatments.

I remeber oil in cans, and still own one of those spouts.
That shows my age a little, huh? lol

Thanks Yeoman....

Sorry Spidey, I cut my teeth on stuff with 50-yr-old one barrels, and then went straight to Holleys & Edelbrocks... never dabbled in that middlin' 80's smog stuff. I was still peein' in my diapers at that point.

i poked a small hole in a water bottle & ran 32oz through a hot motor.

no real life changing difference, but i told myself it idles a little smoother...added another 15 seconds between misfires...

15 whole seconds huh? Impressive :D :D

Water works.
You ever take an engine apart that has a blown head gasket?
You can find the leak by the cleanest piston.
Bad thing about cleaning alot of carbon is it likes to get stuck between a valve and its seat.
I would hold at a fast idle and trickle water down the carb but don't let it stop the engine, do it until your happy.
Then use the seafoam.
307= Like driving with the emergency brake on!!!!!
Carbarated 305= driving with 4 flat tires!

Yep, when I worked in the dealership in the 70's, the mechanics use to pour water down the carb and wing the throttle. Big clouds of brown crud would come out the tailpipe. Unleaded gas burns a whole lot cleaner then the leaded gas back then. It was the cars that used leaded gas that would be all carboned up. The unleaded engines all had squeaky clean combustion chambers.

What about the cat? Plugged up? With that many miles I'd be suspicious of that, not carbon.

took it for a spin, misfire is completely gone now.

hooray for water injection. 8)

another thought to ponder with carbon and nature is alpha gamma and betas. Its got half life, it is hopeless.
tear it down and grind, clean, blast, and then after such a unique active ios gone, steel can fail the surviving. It is way more common on egr motors. summing it all up as smog is not smart enough, it is simply EGR as the culprit. I also learned carbs with very slow bypass (classic) and a catalyst convertor, can literally take something back into its own engine via the exhaust. A resonator has a function there...

It is more common an event as years go by with full emissions. The chances increase, surfaces hang onto particles, as they do get dirty of course naturally running.

Are you an engineer or an engineering student by chance?

LMAO!!!! I now have tears running out of my eyes I am laughing so hard!

Have you ever seen the movie, Mars Attacks?



That blaster he's slingin' will take the carbon right off the backside of the valves with no bearing on its half-life!

I WANT blaster! That would save much time in engine prep.

Maybe engineering student in a dorm full of philosophy grad students? = Romulon Confucius

btw, is English your 2nd language, or 3rd?

J/K bud... we just like to mess with people... what do you drive?

A Peugeot?
