Engine Decarb

pudzey101 · 2014-12-22 17:59:51

Would it do more harm than good to remove the brake booster line and spray mist of water through the vacuum line to remove carbon build up inside the engine ? See the americans doing it the whole time with seafoam , but woudnt water be nearly as good as it'd steam as soon as it hits the combustion chamber ??

Don't do it with water, the results can be bad.

Wouldn't the old 'Italian tuneup' achieve the same result, at a considerably lower cost?
