Default Muahahahah
:-) I thought about using an alias with a story like...

"OMG, guys please help, what happened....my friend told me he added a little bit of water to his oil in his Honduh and it cleaned out the carbon....I thought it would be ok in mine, WTF?"

But then, I realized, nothing can top sand through the manifold. :-)

Default lol
At least I lept to the conclusion it was the OEM oil cooler and not the head gasket.

Trying to ensure you don't develope 'sludge' issues huh?

Default Not really...
It's just time to do some cleaning up in there I think. With 120K on the clock, can't hurt. AutoRx went in over the weekend as well--so we'll see how it does on the varnished valvetrain (due to leaky PCV system?) and for my compression, which was not stellar. More on that later....

That nice clean coolant resevoir looks finer than a new set of snow tires.

Did you put that stuff in the crank too? Why would it work it's way into the oil?
