Chem Dip Piston Soak
I have a real oil burning problem in my 1997 saturn sl and was considering doing a piston soak with berryman's chem dip. I know it is a ring problem and can see carbon build up on the piston head with the sparkplugs removed. Just looking for some opinions.

Well give it a try.
Have a new set of NKG plugs and fresh oil once your all done with the soak along with running the car and the smoke has cleared.. |
I agree with SW2CAM. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. But, you do know you can only soak two pistons at a time, right?
|
i always thought they all moved up and down together
? |
Crank is offset where two pistons will be up while the other two are down. Gotta have a 180 degree turn to soak the other two. I THINK 1 and 4 are up while 2 and 3 are down and then vice versa. Someone tell me if I'm wrong on this, please.

Well, nothing ventured nothing gained is the root marketing concept of the success of snake oil to cure the incurable as a miracle elixir. Not sure how you are supposed to use the stuff (but I'd bet a 2 liter bottle of Coca-Cola would be about as affective) but if it depends on he cylinder bore to be a container of the stuff, half a turn puts the pistons (all of them) half way down giving half a cylinder bore as a container to fill up. Just remember to change the oil before you start or try to start the engine. Or didn't the instructions mention that?
