decarbonizing lo if u mean to clean the combustion chamber...

the easier n simple way is to get it from zth seller directly if u not sure wat ingredient/chemical to use.

direct buy the ready made decarbonizer...they do offer FOC doing it for u

cheers

start you car engine,
rev the engine how high is up to you...
then spary some mist of water at the carb intake...
do this for few times...your cyclinder head will be clean off carbon...

 

[shazmi3]

it's call gum deposit.usually from a cooked cylinder oil(this is what happen if
u guy's don't change the engine oil regularly as recomended by the manufacturer).
usually we scrape it off.i wonder whether the acid from paint remover can clear
it off?

 

[shazmi3]

gt_auto...u r right...i know theres some kind of acid to use but not sure wat acid...

Heavy duty degreaser, the ones they use for chemical wash for air con., and the same thing for engine bay wash! Just have to spray few time n let it soak for a while! and then rinse off with water!! Other then that they use paint thinner to scrub the grease of??
Thats all I can think of cause i dont have the chemical name of the top of my head!
Best of Luck!

 

[shazmi3]

any other opinion?

i thought people usually jz use petrol and a brush to clean the head from dirt??...

 

[grstarbuck]

This wut the mechanics in North America do! A basin with a steel brush hooked up to chemical! SO while u brushing the parts(cleaning) the chemical is sprayed thru the brush! Ya can try petrol, but it smells more like a paint thinner if want to b exact.....I dont record the chemical name but just remembered being told its very expensive! Hmm maybe acetone in a dilute form,something just erosive enuff to remove the clods.......other then that a brush with petrol= Happy Scrubbing!!
