Re:cleaning motor out with water??
Well since people are keeping this topic alive, I'll let you have my experience in the matter.
After I had the motor nice and warm and started with a small cup allowing the vacume to suck small amounts in... I keep on and on... very slowly. I'd rev it up a bit and keep on.. it cut off once and wouldn't start for about a min... sorta scared me but I knew nothing happened.. Turned it over a few times and it started back up. I recommend you go over 3k rpm to be safe.

Just look at a car with a blown head gasket, or leaky head... look at the cylinder and see how clean it is? thats water cleaning the cylinder...

Re:cleaning motor out with water??
So how much water are you sucking in during this process totally? And are you having someone in the car reving at 3k or just sucking at idle and randomly reving?

No, you hold a rev, I'd say over 4000rpms and just start sucking the water in slowly...
This really isnt a big deal guys, its been around for years and years. It really isnt necassary either.

What kind of water to use? Bottled, Tap, or Mineral? Doesn't a company make racing water just for that purpose?
