How to remove powervalves

<< < (2/2)

Bigtim:
i posted about a simular problem a few months back. I ended up having to use a slide hammer to get the guides out first. they were destroyed, but only a few bucks to replace. Alittle too much carb cleaner helps with all the goo and hard carbon as well

I do remember reading about De-Carbonizing but have not tried this yet.
   The post said to soak the parts overnight in a bucket of plain old water....
 Like I said I haven't tried it yet, But it won't cost much and it works while you sleep!
    All kidding aside, the carbon is supposed to soften up enough to scrape/knock off without destroying the part.   
    Might be worth a try...
