[Healeys] Diesel BJ8

[Patrick & Caroline Quinn]

Hello

Is RedEx in its original formula still available?

It was very popular during the 1950s as it helped remove combustion chamber
deposits, thus delaying the need for a decoke and valve grind. If you look
at the RedEx website it refers to removing deposits on fuel injection
injectors, but nothing about combustion chamber carbon deposits. 

Then again do new modern technology cars develop combustion chamber carbon
deposits?
