Looks like a very big difference  |
The tools I use were 1 can of SCA Throttle Body & Carby Cleaner from Supercheap, 2 gun barrel brushes, a syringe from Supercheap, an old tooth brush, a couple of small paint brushes, 3 pieces of wire with the ends flattened and bent at different angles, some hose and a vacuum cleaner. Working through the firing order 153624, I close the inlet valves. Then for each cylinder, I fill each valve chamber with the cleaner and leave it for 20mins or longer. In the meantime, I use the gun brushes and tooth brush to remove the carbon build up in the chamber. Then I use the syringe and hose to suck the cleaner out. Then I use the vacuum cleaner to suck up what remains. I use the wire and paint brushes to loosen the final bits around the valve with the use of some cleaner. You have to repeat this process a few times. Good ventilation is required as the fumes from the cleaner is fairly strong. |
That seems very involved! But easier I guess as you are working with the engine out rather than contorting yourself to work with the engine in place.
