    We did that back in the day with carb engines when the would start pinging too much. It works to steam the carbon off the heads, and pistons. I've use seafoam now instead.

    It's actually pretty well known that this works. It also works with coolant. Ever seen the piston of a motor with a failed head gasket?

    Not sure I would do it because cleaning carbon is generally unnecessary unless the build up is extreme (causing valve closing issues, piston ring seizing/clogging, etc). The Italian tune up works well enough :burnrubber:

    It's known that it works short-term and fouls up long-term. But if you want to steam load your piston rings go for it. Keep your mechanic happy and employed

    Tight enough that you shouldn't be pouring water in them. That's for damn sure lol

    I use a atomizing spray bottle filled with water on my carbureted 427sbc that has a 600" hyd roller cam and a 1k cfm carburetor . I do this twice a year and it steam cleans the carbon off of the combustion chamber and pistons

    Not sure why anyone would do it long term. Maybe one time if you have a stuck valve and you're desperate not to pull it apart. Really no point in cleaning carbon unless it's really bad.

    That's pretty cool. Do you use a borescope to check out the results? Do you see any notable differences in HP (assuming this is a performance application)?

    Yes I can see definite results from just pulling spark plugs and seeing them clean of carbon . Plus you can noticeably see carbon / soot on the ground from the mufflers . I learned this trick from a friend who has a 434sbc nitrous engine . Carbon build up is a very bad scenario for nitrous engine because carbon allows a build up of hot spots .This can lead to engine destroying nitrous backfires

    Yes I've noticed a huge improvement on my engine in performance after spraying watering the carb
