swimming pool acid, and q-tips its cheap. eats the alum off VERY fast... and wont touch the nikasil.
put it on.. when it stops bubbling, the alum is gone,.
also very good for finding cracks HINT HINT...... (on newly plated, cyls also)

I guess you wouldn't want to get it anywhere else... :roll:

Is it okay to ask what size main was in it?

165 and thats on him... I didnt have any hand in jetting it that lean..

I could have sworn that I had a 170 in there......thats why I didn't even think to look at the jetting. No excuses......still very much my bad!!

This is what I was running at 40:1..........
This is what I will be running from now on........
As far as coolant goes I was running plain water with this........
This is what I will be running from now on.......
OR
The failure of the water as coolant, the failure of the Maxima burning off due to low flashpoint, the failure of the owner to have the proper jets.......all these factors led to this end result :x
But we're working on it to make it all better. :wink:

I bold and underlined the main problem for you! the others would have been fine with proper jetting. :roll: ideal... no.. fine. yes
