After the ported intake and heads have run for awhile, will the build up of
sticky gooey stuff affect the port job on the intake and heads?
And will the sticky gooey stuff stick to the ports in the heads if the ports
are polished?
If you've ever looked at used heads for sale on this forum, you'll notice carbon buildup, but if you've got gooey/sticky stuff, you may need to be on that show "strange addiction".
Sticky gooey stuff? Dude, what are you doing with your engine when no one is looking?!
What do you mean when no one is looking?
I have this place where I clean everything up, sometimes I clean myself
and sometimes I clean things a little to much and sometimes it just goes off
Well Riser, I didn't take the time to look in the classifieds for gooey/sticky stuff
instead I just went out in the garage and looked and I found some.
the 243's , 823's and 317's are gooey/stickey<br/>the 8452's are nice and clean
You can see here some of them are gooey
Sorry, I was to lazy to unfold engine hoist and put the engines in the middle to look for more gooey stuff.
But I will look in classifieds to see if it is any different. Ha Ha
Ok, but really does anybody know if the carbon will make a difference on the port work
when the engines have been in service for a couple years or so?
The thought entered my mind when I was squatted between the seats of a G van
R&Ring the intake for that stupid intake gasket on a L33 head
while the intake is off, I remove the upper part and clean everything and beneath the
upper plastic piece there was all of the gooey/ sticky stuff, or carbon as some like to call.
Then the ported thought entered my brain. You might can see how that would happen
I think the original question has lost it's way.
I am curious if you have your top end ported will the carbon deposits affect the port work
after the ported pieces have been in service
for a couple years.
And I have a catch can when assembly time
comes.
Imagine nice smooth ported ports, now imagine
them with carbon deposits built up all over, will that affect flow? I know keep it clean and carbon
will not appear, but what if it does.
