i heard that if you fill up a cup of water and stick a small vaccum line off your intake manifold..and let it suck up the water that it would clean out the deposits in your motor..will this work?i want to try but dont want to fock up my motor :P

 

yup, called a carbon flush. old v8 trick, guys use to dump water right down the carb at about 3/4 throttle (very slowly) this cleans alot of the carbon depositis. On hondas we dont have to much carbon deposites, unless they are really high milage, and it becomes a problem.

wow, never thought of the vacume trick.. I need to do that to mine.

 

how the hell does that work? in theory it would be the same as sucking water through your intake thus causing it to hydrolock

 

because u can do controlled amounts.

 

its like water injection....small amounts do not hurt...big amounts do.

Done it several times on different engines. Cheap and effective.

 

have any of you guys ever heard of B12 chemtool?

 

I've done it before. My dad has done this forever. A freind said he was full of sheit. they poured water into one side of a dual plane manifold on a v-8 that was going to be torn down anyway. the head and pistons were clean on the water side and filthy on the no water side. Ever blow a head gasket? the piston that is clean is the one that got the water. Make sure engine is WARMED UP. Keep rpms up and slow down or stop the water when engine stumbles or slows down.

 

guys how come i can see someone coming back and posting on this topic

"u ------- retard this ---- hydrolocked my engine!!! ---- U!!!!!"

lol.

i wonder if u held it at redline and put your CAI pipe into a bucket of water if it would die.
