Chinese tune up

Post by junior80 »

just had a thought, unrelated to my carby problems at teh moment.

I was thinkin of pouring a hand full of sunlong rice down the carby (only a couple of grains at a time) to shot pein the cylinders. has anyone else done this? dad used to do it to his race bikes but i don't think he ever did a car engine.



whaddda ya think, might it run better?

Are you serious????? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Do you use short or long grain? Or is long grain too pointy?

Never actually heard of it being done, but theres enough room for a few grains in the cylinders. Why would you ever do it though? If one of those grains gets inbetween the valve and its seat...

Not exactly firing it into the cylinders...however on large diesels they clean the exhaust/turbine side of the turbo chargers but injecting rice or crushed nuts. The air/compressor side is cleaned by injecting water.

I've heard of powdered Ajax being dropped down the carby. Rev the engine to around 3000rpm, then drop a handful of Ajax down the throat and juggle the throttle to keep it running. Supposed to help glazed bores, or something...

As stated about large diesels, I have use peanut sheels to clean large turbos. But I wouldn't do it on anything small.

Mate of mine used to work at Mitsubishi and this was the fix for carbon build up on Lancers - fire crushed nuts into the inlet manifold or something :?

A bloke down here as just started up a walnut farm and he said he gets as much or more money from the shells as he does from the nuts!
They used crushed walnut shells to clean jet turbines he reckons.
As for pouring shit into your carby... you do it first :)

You know whats really funny.

You can't just chuck a couple bits of rice in there willy nilly, you have to do it with style other wise it'll stuff the engine.

Mate there'd be no bloody style to it, I mean what's the differance between a hand full of rice chucked in the engine compared to 20 bits.

None at the end of the day when you think about it.

Plus racing motorbike engines won't be the same as whats in your 4wd, for a start it'd be getting torn down and re-built every few months.

A bit off topic but is this common with lancers. My mums lancer runs on and has done it as long as we can remember (had it since new) and i have been told its caused by carbon build up.

Water is ok but not much. sqirter bottle would be ok at a guess.

Best u try the aussie tune up instead.

Start it up, choose a good road and floor it till the valves bounce. properly bedded in and carb tuned.

if it has a carbon problem use either Subaru engine cleaner as per instruction or Holden top end cleaner. both work very well. The subaru one is actually part of every service on there whole range.

When i used to work for holden, we used the top end cleaner heaps. Worked good on some cars, but on the really high km older ones, it sometimes removed the carbon round the rings and lost some compression.
