I wonder how one would fire water in the SVT intake, and I wonder if this would do the same job as breaking down the manifold and doing the manual cleaning....?
its a 351 M. I was running at about 1300 RPM, I had the throttle almost wide open, and there was so much water that it was spraying out the exhaust, not comming out as steam.
I think that the water trick could be accomplished with a well rinsed out syrup container. But i would shy against it becasue the engine and heads are made of aluminum which is much more susceptable to thermal shock cracking than is cast iron.
The water only works when it is heated to produce steam so it is unlikely that water would clean out the intake system.
