Ping/knock 351M

OK, I would use a spray bottle or a baster. Rev it up a little maybe 1500 rpm and slowly start adding water untill the engine starts to slow down a little. Don't get too carried away or you could cause a hydralic lock in the motor. Probably be better if the engine is good and warm. If you get black smoke out the back keep going till it clears up. I'd use up to a quart for a session. I'm not shure if this will get it all buts its supposed to work well. When your done you can look in #1 cylinder at the top of the piston and at the plug. Crank the piston up to TDC and shine a light in there. Maybe even scrape it with a thin piece of wood so you can see what you got.

Good luck,

and make sure you put a new set of spark plugs in after you do the steam cleaning with the water. all that carbon is going to cake up on the plugs. atleast look at them this way you know there won't be a mysterious miss after you get done. C.J. ....

Keep giving it water till it bogs down. Add water and throttle. You don't want to add enough to kill it but you want it be noticable slowing the motor. I think this will clean the plugs too but you need to look at them all to see if one is broken/eroded away.
