Cheers Karan :thumb:

On that note does anyone know of a machine that cleans all the sh1t that builds up in your engine?? I know of a garage that has a machine, but can't remember what exactly :?: it does (it was a long time ago, but I know they still have it) might be the chambers....

dont bother..... just use good fuel eg ul;timate.....

it may be worth getting the injectors cleaned ultrasonically.

carbon buildup in the chambers and ports is really best to clean with the head off.. although there are poducts out there that u pour in the sprk plug hole etc.... i am dubious
