Hey, did you know they clean jet turbine engines by throwing ground up
walnut hulls into the intakes ...... hmmmm

Maybe at the next corvairium, there could be a parking lot demonstration of
cleaning a vair turbo and upper cylinders by some innovative guy with a bag
of walnut hulls ... or better yet, in a mini convention in Iowa, some
crushed * CORN * cobs;;; maybe saturated with Bon Ami .....

Maybe that JRoberts guy ....
just a thought ... ken campbell, iowuh ..." In with the Good, Out With the
