Isn't roaring up and down smallish hills at full throttle what they used
to refer to as the Italian Tune-up? Good for the spirits even if it only
reduces the carbon a little bit.
Cheers,
Mark

Find a nice mountain road and blow it out !

Well, The nearest mountain is 150 miles east of here. You see Bath, OH
is
located at the beginnings of the foothills of the Allegheny Mountain
Range.
West is the beginnings of the Great Plains. I do live on the western
ridge of
the Cuyahoga River Valley so we have a few hills but they are quite
short.
Since the head is off of the 3B, not a practical solution anyway. My
trusty
Haynes Manual gives detailed instructions so I guess I have a weekend
project.
For all Listers, if you could see the amount of carbon build up on the
top
of Pistons on motors that have been run a few miles I would say you
would all
be saying "Off with her Head."
Cheers,
Darrell
