After waiting a short time for the carbon to soften, restart the car and do some highway cruising. This method is infinitely more effective than the water method which tends to break the carbon away in chunks. Carbon, as we all know is one of the earth`s hardest substances, and will inevitably do damage to your car`s combustion chamber. Also, the steam created by the heat of the engine will dissolve the oil film on the piston and cause irreversible scoring to the cylinder, etc. -- ____________________________________________________________________________ Stephen H.
