long to short, i have ~1500 miles on my new 383, it drank oil like no tomorrow,( 1qt per 200 miles) my shop changed the intake gaskets and the valve seals on number 8 (195 afr streets; new)where the plugs were looking crappy, ( not the others) i hope they solved the oil usage issue, meanwhile, that only plug looked crusty....
my guess the cylinder is no better, can shell gasoline really clean the stuff out or i have no "stuff" to clean out. or over time that stuff will resolve itself? or should i use some kind of cleaner, seafoam? it this theory correct? help the thanks corvette guru's! |

Really, there are only two things to worry about, the chamber in the head and the piston head face. The cylinder walls are constantly scraped and cleaned by the piston rings and the combustion itself helps keep the cylinder walls free of buildup.
The piston head faces and the combustion chamber usually get a coating of carbon, from the combustion process, but that can be resolved with a good mixture and properly set timing. engines with good mixture and timing run much cleaner. If you are worried there is a buildup of black carbon, you can aid in it's removal two easy ways. Spritz some water into the intake while it's running, a spray every few seconds, and it will clean out some of the built up carbon. Seafoam is also a good product, sucked in through vacuum lines, to help clean things out. |
