[TR] [6pack] Carbon on top of pistons - engine experts please help!

[Michael Marr]

Back in the day, back home in England, we used to pour a product called 
RedEx (an upper cylinder lubricant) into the carb for the same effect.  If 
you google Redex you will find a lot of discussion in English car 
maintenance forums relating to its efficacy.
