Damnnitalltohell!!! Things were going so good too!!

Any ideas for getting this carbon out of the top of this jug? Stihl 4 mix...and I want to be careful with the valve seats which cuts out my normal pack it with Scotch Brite and spin it routine.

Oh yeah...….they go by twice at 3:30AM every time it snows.....pretty loud going down by but real loud going up by double clutching and down shifting every 15 seconds until they make the top.....awesome for sleeping.....

Pizz off will get er done but will discolor the aluminum if that matters or not. I have used paint stripper, especially Tal Strip for carbon removal on aluminum.

The white stuff came down in a blanket, flakes inches across,so full of moisture. About 4" so far and that fell in less than an hour. Mostly stopped for now with light rain falling.

White oak on the log wagon this AM. We grow 'em big down here.

 

[Cantdog]

BIG stick!!!!!

 

[pioneerguy600]

Yup, sure is.

Got two cans of Pizz Off yesterday... maybe this weekend I'll see if I can clean these valves and cylinder up proper.

Mr Muscle is what the Colt Pielstik factory reps specified to dicarbon the piston crowns of the 8000 hoss V-16s......carbon on those was about 1/4" thick and it worked pretty good. Gotta let it sit and do it's work and then some elbow grease and they'd clean right up.....all 32 of them...…..arrrg.....

As Jerry said it will discolor alum...…but not really an issue in a cumbustion chamber.

Its the Lye in dif products that discolors the aluminum. The beauty of the Tal Strip was that it was designed to be used on airplanes to remove paint, it leaves the metal nice and shiny, not that important on an engine internal components.

Figure I'll warm the jug up a bit...spray it down and let it soak. Valves too.

Well I am impatient... shot it and it soaked about 15 minutes at ambient. I'm 90% there. Heat and round two on the way!
