ATF/Water dribbled down carb to remove carbon?

I was thinking since the engine can't compress liquid that you should be careful. You wouldn't want to break any rings.. Maybe pour the liquid in slowly or mist it in with a spray bottle. I've used the spray bottle method in the past and it does work nicely. Good luck.

I don't have any knocking yet, but with a 46 year old motor with unknown mileage (anywhere from 85k to 185k I'm guessing) I just wanna try it. It has the normal symptoms of excessive carbon buildup but without the knocking sound.

I was thinking the same thing, or punching a pinhole in a water bottle and squirt every 10 seconds or so for a split second whilst revving.

years ago there was a water induction system that was designed for a carbed engine. It was suppose to increase performance and fuel milage

I just wanted to note for clarity that if you mix transmission fluid with the oil that you should definitely not drive the car at all. Idling for a while will be fine as stated.

I'd be more concerned with the nylon timing gear and the valve stem seals. Lost a 302 that way a few yeas back.
