Re: '86 CJ7 Shaking after ignition is turned off
 
I only know what works for sure from experience,

I haven't tried water yet.

I learned this back in the 70's and 80's from mechanics that used ATF to
decarbon 'city driven' V8's as part of a major tune up or for run on
like the OP has.

They also used this treatment before a valve job or head gasket replace,
which I have done now many times. They turn out clean as new with ATF.
On my my last headgasket job I used it, but didn't drive it after
before pulling it apart and got photos of some 1/16" slabs of carbon
still left loose inside.

It was used in every garage I ever worked in which was a few over the
years. I never saw water used.

I do know how water will shock clean hot metal though. I use it on
dirty wood stoves and cast iron fry pans with burned on stuff or on pans
to de-glaze the stuck stuff for gravy or sauce.

Mike, I've never understood why some always recommend ATF which costs
money over water which does not cost money. Water works just fine, I
know of no benefit whatsoever to using ATF over water

Do you know of some benefit that ATF provides over water when used fo

this purpose
