But not with a wire brush !!!!

 

Not a micky take. I have known people to do it!

you should find it wipes off fairly easy with thinners or carb cleaner.....mine did on a 150k engine

just make sure the scraper is not sharp...something plastic would be ideal

keep in minds the pistons are still inside the block i will not be removing the pistons....an instructor at my school told me to leave the pistons alone and to slap the head back on put everything back together then start it up rev the engine and while the engine is revving squirt a little bit of water inside the throttle body...he said the water will atomize and eat away at the carbon and it will all fly out the exhuast...he said dont put too much water or youll hydrolock the engine...i know this instructor knows what hes talking about but i dont really wanna squirt water in my engine....i want some more opinions on this matter

How exactly do you squirt water in the TB.

Do you still get redex ?

 

use that if your car doesnt have a cat

 

I used to pour it through the top of the carb and I couldnt see the neighbours house for carbon
