De-carboning an engine?
Hello all,
I've asked this question before, but I'm considering having my 1993 F-150 302 decarboned. It has almost 90k, and runs great, uses no oil, etc.
What are some advantages of doing this? Will I gain anything? Is it really important?

De-carboning an engine?
I have had this same process done to my truck, and I can tell you this for sure. It definitely does work, you can stand (at the shop I go to anyway) right there and watch while the engine is running on the machine. I stood there for an hour and watched as the hesitation, and the intermittent miss disappeared.
