    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Carbon Cleanup

I got this at harbor freight. It actually works pretty good using the HB walnut shells. Use the 24 grint and not the 12. The 12 will plug everything up.

I can find the gun I have listed , but if you have a pretty good compressor then (90+ psi) then it should work pretty well. I even used it on removing the carbon from the tops of the pistons. The walnut shells dont do any damage to the aluminium; it is prtty mild and so where near as abrasive as sandblasting.

Once I was setup it took about 1-2 minutes per chamber.

Now for some Harbor Freight spot media blasting (walnut shells)

Looks pretty good but I still have to get the valves out and do under the valves.

Worked great cleaning out the exhaust runners as well.
