I have never heard of doing this before > and would like more than one opinion before drownding any engine I work > on. I have used this OLD trick for years. I usually just use a garden hose and set it with about a 1/4" trickle. Then set the engine on fast idle and hold the hose over the carb. It has usually helped with pinging problems and never done any damage. There is also commercial upper cylinder cleaners available. One I used to use alot was called "carbon out" I think. I'm also pretty sure GM sells one. GOOD LUCK
