[QUOTE="Gene, post: 414119, member: 7402"] Over the years I have used numerous products to remove carbon, but never satisfied with any of them. Recently, I have been applying Lucas automotive engine treatment. They advertise carbon removal on the can. I simply dip my nylon brush in it, and scrub the bore several times. Nothing caustic in it, so you can let it sit for several days before wiping clean. So far, I am pleased with the results. If a carbon ring exists just ahead of the case mouth, it can sometimes be felt as a slightly tight area when dragging a tight patch over it. Carbon rings can be real stubborn. Try turning a brass brush with your favorite solvent over it twisting the cleaning rod 360 degrees several times. A bore scope can help this task. [/QUOTE]
