Re: Lapping piston rings

Re: Lapping piston rings
For the guys who used top engine cleaner. Have you ever tried Ice Water? Basically do everything the same as top engine cleaner. Except use ice water.

I idon't know about ice water but I have seen guys crack the throttle open and shoot a garden hose down the carb. A little pre-teardown steam cleaning I guess.
