Thread: White smoke from breather and oil drops formed

Tweet

Altho I haven't used the desolved in water method-It does work good at getting the BonAmi into the cylinders---however I never used it that way because as a liquid it won't do what you want, and also will vaporize from combustion heat and leave the cylinder too quick. The powder way is best, and you can do it with anything that will dispense it gently-like a salt shaker type device--------I wouldn't use over one box of it at a time without giving the engine a breather of a few runs without it-


Also, taking it easy on an break in doesn't put as much pressure on the rings/cylinder walls as moderate applied power so make some intermediate runs thru the gears------If it continues to smoke, use it to disperse mosquitoes and other bugs til cold weather gets here!!!!!!!!!!!


With those three cylinders being on same side of motor I'd probably go ahead on pull the head------

When the water evaporates the powder in suspension (not really dissolved - it's an abrasive dust) is left behind, just like pouring the dust in directly. No skin off my nose, but the water method is effective. I got the tip from an old mechanic back in the 60's.
