@Loony661 will Amsoil Powerfoam clean a carboned up intake manifold and intake runners? Any better than Seafoam spray or any other cleaner?

It will remove some carbon, but not real heavy deposits of it. I used it to clean some diesel carbon once. It took a couple applications, but it worked. It worth trying on a gasoline carbon…

That being said, when used as a carburetor cleaner as intended, it’s by far my favorite. I spray carbs down with it and let them soak until the foam goes away, then rinse with water and blow out with compressed air. They look brand new after that.

Cool, thanks. The intake on the grandpa Buick is relatively dirty, I'd like to clean some of it out, but I'm not interested in disassembling a bunch of crap. I've used the seafoam spray before with decent results, so I was curious if the Amsoil would be any better.

What’s up folks! I’m exercising my boss level privileges and calling it quits for the week. Too f’ing hot… we were supposed to get some time off earlier but had some last minute urgent jobs come up.

Afternoon commies.

Got news about a week ago that one of my neighbors is dying. I was really close with him for a while, he has a '64 GTO and used to take me to car cruises along with his grandkids when I was younger. As I got older I started to not get along with some of his family and distanced myself. That was years ago, time has passed since.

One of his grandkids saw me at the mailbox today and walked over to let me know that he's in his last days, if not hours, and I was welcome to stop up and see him if I'd like. So I did. He was bedridden and unable to speak or see, and his breathing was very labored, but he could still hear. I talked to him for a couple minutes. His family was very cordial. I expressed my empathy and told them not to hesitate if there is anything they need.

I felt like it was the best way I could handle the situation. I'd have felt poorly if I didn't make an effort to see him before he passed, he was a great person and always was always good to me, but I don't want to create any awkward situation with the family.

Better keep the gramps mobile in good shape for sprint car racing trips.

Well played Joe. Good for you for putting in the effort to say goodbye to someone that was good to you.

This stuff works.

You done good Joe. At critical times like that it’s best to let bygones be bygones.

You handled that extremely well

You were obviously raised right

As far as comparison, I’ve never used the SeaFoam cleaner.

Well, probably Dallas and Sesame Street

Edited to add: and NSP of course

Good evening folks. The 10 hour day at work really flew by today.

 

[Mastermind]

We are as caught up on saw work as we have been in many years. Having Jonathon helping has really made a difference.

Good evening fellas

 

[stihl livin]

Evening slackers. Pt tomorrow morning then full Dallas as they just can’t seem to find work to meet my minor restrictions. It’s really starting to get to me mentally.
