<VV> Decarbonizing combustions chambers

[Frank DuVal]

Hey, that's my reply, and I didn't even have to type it again!  Thanks, 
Tony!

Both water and GM Top Engine Cleaner are non compressible liquids, so 
the possibility of engine damage should be the same. And, the GM 
directions are to stall the engine with the TEC. I would not try to 
stall the engine with water, but it has happened when I poured too fast. 
No damage so far. But, I DO CAUTION not to pour water in after the 
engine stalls. That MAY result in engine damage, when the cylinders are 
full of liquid and the piston tries to compress it. So maybe the 
difference is the evaporation temperature of TEC vs water. Any excess 
TEC will vaporize overnight, so that no liquid is in the cylinders when 
the engine is cranked the next morning? I am guessing here. No proof of 
TEC evaporation. I would use either product only on a warmed up engine. 
Better steam cleaning action.
