Message	But wouldn't the soap part of it wash down oil from the cylinder walls? It seems to me, that would be a bad thing when pushing the engine to extremes. I know zilch about water injection, is washer fluid commonly used? I have used the small vacuum lines under the TB's to inject cleaner(and also water)for cleaning of the intake manifold, valves, and pistons occassionaly. It works great, and it all happens at relatively low RPM's and no engine load. Mostly, I was just wondering about my oil wash down "theory"(for lack of a better word)as it pertains to your usage of washer fluid. (I realize that over all the washer fluid is an extremely small ratio of the air/fuel charge) What is your take on it? Milk is for babies........ Got Bourbon?
