    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Just pulled off my exhaust

So today after school I decided to pull off the exhaust in an attempt to clean them up and maybe get a nice shine on them. About 2 to 3 hours later I am somewhat content with my work and about to put them back on and decide to look down inside to where the valves are to notice a somewhat thick black powdery coat on everything.

Is this normal, like an emissions thing, or is it just build up from many years of operation?

is there a recommended product out there to help clean this out? Iv heard about some fuel system cleaners from Penzoil and Lucas that are supposed to clean the valves and then there is that 'nitrogen fuel' stuff that Shell stations charge up the rear for that are supposed to help clean the valves.


Sorry if it seems like I am rambling on, I kinda have a tendency to over think things.
 
That black layer is normal. Don't worry about it.
