Clean combustion rooms

Hi, guys.

I have taken the following contribution from an Austrian NG and I must say that it fascinates me in a way:

----

For some time now, an old Peugeot has occupied me with 106 gasoline from an acquaintance. The thing has a central injection (wrongly also electronic
This is also known as carburetor).

Symptoms:After the warm-up phase, the idling remains at an increased speed level.

Remedy:You have to remove the various plugs at the single point injection, put them back together from the engine oil dry. The battery for 30s to disconnect to delete the error code, whereupon the idle speed is good on
The target value drops, this condition lasts 1-2 weeks, then the thing floats again in oil and the troubles start again from the beginning. The Peugeot dealer put an Idling Controller for ATS 2000 in my hand with the remark "the is it" and I put the thing in a bit unbelieving, whereafter after 2 weeks everything was back to the old. From my point of view the fault was with the oil, which reached the injection part via the engine ventilation return and there everything ruined.The engine had 140tkm on it but was mainly moved in short distance operation, so a certain oil consumption was quite in the range of the expected.

Last fall, I had to change the head gasket, and I was about to make a valve service. In the context of this, I changed the valve shaft seals (the old ones were already totally brittle) in the hope of getting the oil away in the ventilation recirculation. The
Inspection of cylinder boreholes showed no abnormalities
The head service was a complete success, the engine went almost never before, but the oiling remained for me and thus also the idle problem.

After the acquaintance had followed me for half a year with the speed increase, I decided to make a last healing attempt of whose show effect I promised myself a lot (No real fix,
but rather the argument , that was the very last possibility , if now has not helped , then it is due to the piston rings and their exchange worthwhile
It's not anymore.)

I have already reported here that water which is added to the combustion exerts a very purifying effect on the combustion chambers. This is due to a very simple chemical reaction that is
the high temperatures in the combustion chamber between the oil coal and the water. In US newsgroups, this is a very common recommendation to remove the air filter and a glass of water when the engine is running into the air.
To tip the carburetor. After this cure, even piston rings cemented by oil coal are said to have regained their youthful tension. As a sign of the successful cure, a soot cloud should leave the exhaust within 5 minutes.

This relatively brutal U.S. cure of drowning the engine with a glass of water, I transferred into a typical European hi tec process and used a spray bottle with which I gradually injected half a litre into the engine running at 3000 rpm. The effect was equal to zero, not even a sniffing of the machine was to be registered and also the hot-desired soot cloud remained completely out. Well, what can you expect from such Ami brain-mongers?

Conscious of having done my best and having done nothing in the firm conviction of having done anything, I released my acquaintances with all consolations into a world of increased idle speeds.

This was 3 months ago and the injection system is still completely dry and oil-free. The idle is so low on the intended speed that it is hard to believe that it could ever have been different.
In deep scrambledness I make my US friends ask that I have even a single moment of doubt about their recommendation.

This nice trick has now been tried out by some from said NG, with various engines. Although I do not have any results, the machine is still completely inconceivable, and if the Americans with their numerous V8 really have such successes, would this be worth considering, or not?

Looking forward to your opinion
