Brooks You are so right! when I was a mechanic in the 60"s SHELL gas
was the worst and in deed we did use Trans. fluid and even today I do it
once a year just to clean the top engine area , but I use water now
Not as fast as tran. fluid but just as good ( must watch out for Tree
huggers now) Remember when you could buy a water injection to
increase power from pep-boys?? In WW11 the P-51 were water
injected.

Subject: IML: On engine
noises.... knocks, etc....
Sometimes, a carbon knock will sound just like a rod
knock. It will
sound like it's ready to throw a rod. I can't even
count how many times
I have fixed this with about half a bottle of
transmission fluid.
Start the engine; remove the air cleaner; rev
the engine up to about
2500 rpm and start slowly pouring the
transmission fluid down the
carburetor throat. Don't let the engine
die. (if it does, you might
have to pull & clean the plugs, then
resume the procedure). Pour the
xmf fast enough to lug the engine
down.
Voila -- no more knock. Gone for good. This apparently
happens when a
little piece of carbon breaks off inside one of the
cylinders or
something..... but I've fixed 'em numerous times this way
when I thought
I had lost a rod bearing.
