I'm afraid you did have me fooled.

Once saw one guy flush out his outboard motor with a garden hose by taking out each spark plug, and filling each cylinder, then he couldn't figure out why it wouldn't run anymore, so he took it to a mech to have it looked at.

The marine mehcanic discovered the, ahem...... ""problem"" when he got a face full of greasy water after pulling the plugs and trying to turn it over.

Be sure to use silica-free sand so you don't get silicosis from the dust.

I ceased to be fooled about 1/3 of the way through the post.

HA !! i tried the same thing with the sand ... I'm getting such good fuel mileage that I have to siphon out fuel from both tanks every 100 miles. But how come the fuel gets this green tint to it ??

Did you remember to run the dish soap through afterwards to clean out the residue?

I thought this was a great idea, so I did it right away but I couldn't find sandblasting sand so I used cement instead. It ported my valves AND filled the gaps in the piston rings! Now all eight holes compression-test DRY at over 100 p.s.i.! That's more than my Scout even!
