Removing carbon from the pistons

[potomacduck]

Are Those micro pieces really going to cause a noticeable damage to the cyl wall? No

So you know the sizes of the carbon pieces that are released?

What size are they? Have you measured them ?

What size is acceptable to run through your engine?

you talked about the micro size pieces.

i cant quite tell, but your sounding like a smart ass

This is the sort of topic that makes me scratch my head.

First question: Is the carbon really hurting anything? What evidence do you have that the carbon is hurting anything? yeah excessive amounts cause predetonation - that ain't good.

Second question: If the water/Seafoam, or whatever fluid dislodges the carbon, what happens to the dislodged carbon? it blows it out the engine's ass mostly and burns some along the way.

Does anyone think the carbon magically dissolves and is evacuated through the exhaust valve? Engage your brain. (Given the firing time of an engine the carbon chunks would have to completely dissolve into a gaseous state and leave the engine in a few milliseconds during each firing cycle).

they aren't dissolving so much as breaking free and out the ass.

Do an experiment, take a chunk of engine carbon and place it in a cup of water, or Seafoam. Does it dissolve instantly. Nope.

well yeah this "experiment" hasn't even begun to simulate the internals of an engine burning fuel at 2500+ degrees, try it that way and let us know what ya find.

Or (more likely) the carbon releases in small chunks and gets lodged in a piston ring...or between the piston and cylinder wall.

nah, read up some more on it, if that was the case don't ya think the word would have gotten around by now Not to do it?

I just asked a question...which nobody is answering.

The factory air filter removes particles down to 1 micron. Are you saying the hard particles of carbon you are releasing into the engines by this method are smaller than a micron?

If yes, then tell us how you have measured them. If no, then you are releasing particles into your engine which Toyota believes should be filtered out.

Either way, it doesn't sound like something that's good for an engine; if carbon build up is so severe it would makes sense to remove the pistons and clean them rather than running the detritus through the engine.
