Great video if you want to bust stuff. I don’t recommend this procedure at all. I guess its to remove carbon? water does not break down carbon.
well if we all get a post for a Honda making engine noise after cleaning the engine. we at least got a jump on the cause.(LoL) W-|

i was just thinking of this because i heard when a head gasket is blown and coolant leaks into the cylinder that it is clean. would this be ok on a 2 stroke? i feel like it would starve the bottom end of oil so if you could put it in a compression release hole that could work i dont think i would do it. maybe id test it on an old mower

Yes, I’ve seen it done but as part of an aftermarket supercharger install where water gets injected automatically anytime you are in boost – (used to cool the intake charge rather than use an intercooler) and they state that the cleaning of carbon inside the combustion chamber is a beneficial side effect. The pro’s have stuff that they run through the intake that does the same thing just a lot faster.

The amount of water he is introducing into the engine will probably do nothing. Look at the quantity Duane uses on an engine:

same concept as a steam cleaning machine right? or if you have a pan with stuck on crud and you boil water in it the crud will flake off

I have to agree with college man, water does not break down carbon. This will not clean engine carbon deposits in the engine just create a little smoke at the tail pipe.
