Alright, I think I know where I stand. First I need to get compression down to spec. The bgb says spec is 165, but I was refering to the spec about the range between the cylinders....If I had 165 on #4 and 200 on #2, then thats "out of spec"...but nonetheless, I've known I had high carbon buildup for nearly a year now. It's prolly just from 13years of use and it probably never had a FULL tune up...just the basic stuff. SO, I'm going to do that first.
GoTime, I'm starting with a 50shot. I plan on purchasing the kit, window switch, fog lamp switch and such by the end of this month. In two weeks, I'm having toyota slap a machine on my water system and clean out all the gunk thats in those lines. Apparently, someone put some form of stop leak in the water lines (before I owned it) and it turned into a grease base and really clogged up my oil cooler. So, I'm doing that first. While i do that, i'm throwing some top end cleaner in the gas tank sometime this week. If compression is still high, then I'll have to pull the head, which I'm not too excited about. Let's hope the top end cleaner will work Anyone have luck with it?
yeah, I didnt think race gas was the answer.....I rarely follow instructions from domestic guys, but I keep an open mind just in case.
Lets hope I can get compression down, else thats where the buck stops with nitrous.
