Re: Junkyard Jimmy Super Low Buck Build Thread

Trans fluid (dexron) is high in detergents so it should clean up the engine. Just don't drive with it. My dad ran a service shop back in the day so he has done the trans fluid cleaner before. He also used to trickle it down the carb as the engine was running to clean up the valves. You have to keep the RPM's elevated a bit for this procedure and its better if the engine is at operating temp.

Looks like you are lucky. It happens every once in a while.
