jzx83 Occasional Poster Location: Gympie Registered: June 2005	Re: Carbon clean??? Thu, 23 June 2005 04:48 Regarding Brake cleaner. Be very very careful not to inhale this stuff as I have been told of an experienced mechanic who combined his work on a car's braking system with his love of a cigarette, with fatal results. If you think about the difficulty of removing the type of stuff that brake cleaner products are used on, it seems likely that there may be some heavy duty nasties involved. Having said that, my mate said that he thinks they may have changed the formulation to prevent this happening. My tendency with anything that I don't know the ingredients of is to assume the worst... and then be half arsed about reducing the danger. I would also love to know what is in the soobie head cleaner product too. Am seeing little bro tonight so I'll ask him. He is a gun Subaru mechanic. In my previous post I mentioned my mate telling me about Bon Ami. I spoke to him again and it is basically a powder version of Jif, and the people using it were mechanics on the Bathurst racers. The purpose of putting it down the carbys was to free up freshly built engines, and bed them in. Since bedding in involves a certain amount of wear, I think it is probably NOT what you would want to do to an old(er) engine. When I mentioned the other possible methods to my mate, he was: a/ Horrified by the vacuum pipe into the bucket of water. b/ Agreeable to the idea of misting water into intake (He was the one who showed me how to do it after all) c/ Agreeable that brake clean, brake fluid, auto fluid and naturally the soobie product should all work. If you were doing plugs out, put agent down the cylinders and leave in for a time. the thing to be careful of might be to make sure that none of the metal objects that it comes in contact with are going to be munched by the agent. It is probably for this reason that this job is usually done with motor running as the stuff is only in there until it gets burned/belched out. Cheers Richard [Report message to a moderator]
