removing carbon from heads/pistons etc

[Tailites]

whats the best chemical you have used?

I like oven cleaner myself...but theres always something better

[ZR]

I use laq thinners and rags. Don't like how oven cleaner changes the surface / leaves it roughed up.

Im trying hand cleaner...letting it sit...let you know the results

[Intmdtr]

Why not some sea foam?

^^^Do they still sell the dip in carb cleaner?

[Tailites]

the hand cleaner seems to work ok

let it sit for an hr or so...BUT

it seams to stain...might be a bit caustic

Dewey, I used gunwash to clean a carb for my truck on the advice of a mechanic I worked with, and it works damn good. I think I still have a bucket of some in the garage. You're welcome to try that.

My Dad worked in the boiler room at a Steel plant.
He swears by a bucket of hot water with a steam line straight in.
Leave it for an hour, parts come out looking shinny and new!

liquid Egr cleaner would probably work well.

works great on lawnmower carbs

Cool, but is it available in Canada?

I heard of people spraying water in the intake , all the steam build up will clean the piston.

Also seafoam has been proving to actually do some good work with carbon cleaning!
