Sure you don't want to put some ATF in there?
(j/k) Let the Power Foam sit in the motor as long as your patience will allow and then start it and drive it at highway speeds for at least an hour to be sure that the slot gets cleaned out real good. Make sure to buy a lottery ticket on the way home, you lucky... |
hehe
im driving it home saturday ill get a ride back to my college place and let it soak all week when i drive it back, its an hour drive so no prob |

Originally posted by pratch I had 6 strong wooshes - and had 25 compression all around. Hook up the gauge and find out. It's so much better to be safe than sorry. the butt dyno will tell the tale |
money, why
a compression guage is like 20 bucks and lot so folks usually have them |

Is this power foam better than the water treatment?

Water doesn't do a damned bit of anything unless you're adding the water under full load.
I don't trust anything by Amsoil (Am Soil) because of their shady business practices. However, if you use any serious decarbonizer on a rotary you MUST follow it up with a lube bath (teaspoonish of ATF/MMO/motor oil just like unflooding) because it WILL wash away the oil embedded in the rotor housing surface and compression will go to shit for a little while. Found that out the hard way. :) |

I have reason to believe that my motor has some intense carbon and I've tried everything to try and get it clean, do you have any other products that might work. Grant |
Amsoil Power Foam or Techron concentrate.
I'm not fond of Amsoil's multi-level marketing, myself. But I'd hardly call them shady, in fact they are about the most forthright company when it comes to information about their products. But I've been using Power Foam for about ten years now, and I can fully recommend it with no reservations. |
Man I wish we had that stuff around here. As far as I can tell it's impossible to get anything really effective for clearing carbon up here in Canada, that and the lack of MMO is brutal.

Where do I get Amsoil Power Foam?
Wankleguy talks highly of it. Napa and autozone does not carry it. |

soaking in atf for a week since mississippi doesnt have any powerfoam apparantly
atf does work in my experence, just not the best |
have any of you read the thread about cleaning the carbon out with water. i personally have never done it but i don't think i have a big carbon build up problem. if all the recomended cleaning stuff is hard to find where you are then maybe you could try the water treatment.

Geez, you guys. Just add 4 to 8 oz. of MMO to every tankful and it works fine.
