To Remove Carbon From Cylinder of Gas Engine Auto owners who wish to remove carbon from the gas engine cylinder by means of an oxygen flame may do so without injuring the mechanism If the following precautions are taken: The radiator must be filled with water wa-ter In order to keep water around the cylinder walls and valves. Both valves must be closed and the piston Is placed at the top of the cylinder cyl-inder to confine the oxygen In the combustion com-bustion chamber. If compressed air is at hand after burning the carbon oat, the engine is 1 turned over until the exhaust valve Is open, and a Jet of air introduced Into the cylinder to blow all loose particles of carbon which will prevent It from proper seating, and so Impair the compression.
