Try buying a cleaning rod for guns, and get a selection of phosphor bronze bore brushes (especially if you can get them in shotgun sizes.) They're easy to find, the cleaning rod will usually chuck into a drill motor, and they're hard enough to tear off deposits without removing material.
It's a little trick my grandaddy taught me - about thirty years ago. |

Hoosier, that 88 sounds like a 4.0L donor vehicle if I ever heard it! Not sure if the performance computer is still available. I have one I picked up used (thanks Ron!).... somewhere. Need to install it! Have some other things to do to the car too, been slack on maintenance since I've been remodeling the house. Something in the steering is loose enough I don't want to drive it! I think the power rack is just worn out, though it doesn't leak. Came from a car in the salvage yard, probably high mileage (didn't look at the odometer!). Not sure if I'm going to get a reman or go back to a standard power steering box.
Good tip in the shotgun cleaning brushes!! Edited by farna - Feb/20/2008 at 12:29am |
