Re: [Chrysler300] Engine Smoking, any suggestions?

[Gary Barker <gbarker@xxxx>]

Hi Hal, First is whether the engine has a lot of miles and the rings 
are worn out, or did it sit for a long time and the rings are just 
stuck. If the rings are worn out there's not to much you can do. If 
the rings are just stuck there are a few additives that you might try. 
Right now I can't think of any brand names but there out there. When I 
worked as a mechanic for Chev. people would trade in cars that had your 
problem. We carried a additive in the parts dept. that we used to 
desolve carbon. We would warm the engine up to operating temp. Then 
while working the throttle we would poor it down the carb. very slowly. 
It would smoke like crazy out the exhaust. When we had about 1/2 can 
left you then pulled the throttle wide open and at the same time you 
dumped the rest of the can down the carb.. flooding the cylinders and 
killing the engine. Then we let it sit over night. or even two days. 
Then start the engine and take it out for a hard drive. Most of the 
time it would work.
Go to a parts house and either ask for help or read the labels for 
something that helps desolve carbon. I know there used to be a lot of 
people who would use ATF oil, but I don't think it worked as well.
Worth a try. Gary Barker
