But you must have a BRAIN to do it in a safe manner.
There are too many DANGEROUS FOOLS in the world for me to ever suggest doing this.
I watched one try to use this procedure on a Mack, near the Mackinaw bridge, he let it warm for an hour, then got out a can of ETHER, started spraying the intake, some dripped down to the charcoal, the blast threw him ten feet, and burned his snow suit and face mask.
Some people are DANGEROUS FOOLS, soon to be DEAD FOOLS.
