Carbon build up on forge pistons( not in block )

[AWDnoobie]

Now before anyone bashes me on not looking for info, I have read all the posts that are for pistons in the block(carbon build up i searched for)

That being said could i still use seafoam and soak the pistons over night? From what i know it works best with motor running, but what do i know

Anyways thanx for looking and hopefully not bashing me

One way you can fix this problem is,take off the intake tube where it attached to the intake mannifold. After you take that off, get you a mist spray bottle that you would buy say some windex in. Then, take the spray bottle(on mist mode).Spray water into the intake mannifold at opperating temperature(warmed up). Spray water into the intake mannifold until the engine almost dies and that shold clear the carbon out. I did this on my 1991 talon tsi and it worked great.
I hope this will help you.

Jayce, he said the pistons were OUT of the block.

Spraying water into an engine? WTF

You can clean them with methylene chloride, aircraft stripper.

Yup pistons are out of the block, waiting to go in a fresh block in new year.

To donniekak thanx for that tip, my boss actually owns a airplane, going to talk to him tomorrow and see if he has any (methylene chloride)stripper around.

Some car paint supply places will have it. I know the old guys back home liked to use that shit to strip cars. check a paint supply.
