Soaking my cylinder head in biodiesel
Wow, bought some biodiesel yesterday (B100) to soak the cylinder head of my 300D in... looks like the carbon caked on in all the intake ports is coming right off.
It also smells real nice. A faint smell of soybeans. Yum.

You're soaking your entire head. Carefull, the biodiesel may eat away at the valve stem seals.

That stuff is a natural cleaner. If you don't mind me asking how long did you have to soak them to get them cleaned up?
