If you can find some one that uses glass beads for sandblasting this works
great glass beads doesn't remove metal were sand does.where there is a bend
the sand will go thru the metal.

Buff (and others who have had the same problem)
About how many flights did it take to get the pipe blockage that you folks
are talking about?  Obviously, it announces itself by degrading engine
performance, and I was curious about when to start looking for the problem.
One of my Hatori pipes had a lot of crud on the outside, and I cleaned it
with some Airplane Cleaner that I picked up at Advanced Auto Parts.  It took
several applications, but did a fair job of cleaning.  But--that's not the
same as the inside of the pipe.  When I was building engines, I had a 5
gallon pail of carburetor cleaner and I'm wondering if that stuff would do
any good.  It sure removed all the crud from a carburetor; while the race
engines never got all that dirty, I did do other stuff besides, and I saw
the carb cleaner work miracles.

P.S. Buff:  See you at Myrtle Beach!

Hi Steve,



You're not too late.  I had the pipe in the PP for 24 hours with no ill
effects.  It did clean some carbon, as seen by chunks of carbon being
flushed out.  But did it clean it thoroughly?  I guess the engine will tell
me next time out.  Or, though I'm not quite ready for this; perform an
autopsy on the pipe.

Be careful with the Purple Power on aluminum. If it's the same stuff I'm
thinking of, made by Castrol, I used some to clean my motorcycle wheel and
it pitted the aluminum rim! Hope this message is not too late.
