Tried this on my 77 MGB a few months ago with very unhappy results - the engine started to blow blue smoke during the highway drive (3000RPM) while I was feeding the water through a 1mm restrictor and vac hose to the manifold. May have cracked a piston, broken a ring - not sure. Some report that this decarbonising technique works, but apparently there are risks!

(To all those tempted to make remarks about British cars: do try to resist...we've (Yawn) heard it all before)
