So after some reading on dissolving carbon in intake parts in another forum, I was just wondering if anyone had tried, or could tell me why not to use Acetone for a piston soak.
Capped so nothing can escape I didn't see any real evaporation. I don't think that with the spark plugs screwed in there will be much in the way of evaporation.quote:

acetone evaporates very quickly, I don't know how much soaking would be achieved, it might just be rinsing. In the paint industry there are various cleaning/thinning solvents that are mostly acetone but have other chemicals mixed in, such as methyl acetate. I have found an 80/20 mix of acetone/methyl acetate evaporates much slower and is much better for soaking.
