Re: TOY: Re: Engine Cleaning (tips)

[Bruce Robertson <mrmomo.geo@xxxxxxxxx>]

I used some Gunk on the weekend on a grenaded Porsche
944Turbo engine (absolutely and totally destroyed),
and I was not too amazed with the results. I was also
using a pressure washer (engine was not in the car)
and the pressure washer seemed to do more than the
gunk.  I would reccomend using some sort of foaming
engine cleaner, as the gunk just seemed to dribble
off.
