Cylinder Glaze

[Fisher]

I mix fine red Jewlers Rouge with heavy oil using heat and paint a swipe around each Cylinder, put back together and start her up.  We do this sometimes with tired Diesel Gen Sets, dries them up pretty good.

We do this sometimes with Sprint Car engines to help seat the Crome Rings.

ROFLMAO

We got a bag of sandblasting sand and hooked up into the intake and started the car. We had to hold the gas so it would run. He wanted to let the engine suck in the sand through the intake so it would port it out and then push it out the ehxaust so it would port the exhaust manifold.

...

We tried to start it again and it was really hard. Once started it couldn't idle and kept making weird noises. We took it out and drove it and it started to make scraping and knocking noises.
Help! Can anyone tell me what to do! My buddy only does Hondas so he doesn't know much about Audis.

um... what kind of moron would suck sand blasting sand through the intake of their car to 'port' it out? how will the sand 'port' out the intake and exhaust??? that guy's motor just got pwned!!!

a powder chemical like ajax or whatever should do the trick... it is fine enough to dissolve and not cause scraping or galling like sand will...  :lol: and it washes the oil off the walls so that you get the initial friction you need... just remember to change the oil once or twice after to make sure you get it all out

Here is the page out of the Impco manual regarding use of abrasive cleansing powder to seat the piston rings.
