Italian Tune-up links thread
 

Warning:
Never do this with an engine low on oil, coolant, has a serious knock or known bad rod, etc, etc.

A serious issue is that long term short distance inner city driving can cause = engine to not reach operating temperature = depositing coke/carbon, and fouling the engine prechambers + valves = this is abusive commercial use = consult your owners manual for corrected service intervals.

An Italian Tune-up can help blow accumulated coke/carbon/fouling out of the engine.
Valve adjustment is called for every 15,000 miles for the generic average driver = consult your owners manual for corrected service intervals.
Valve adjustment OM617 FYI.

Fiats
 

I used to use the Italian tune up on my Fiat. Nothing much really helped with that POS, though. I didn't shed any tears when it was gone.

How about French tune ups. Im really looking for something a little different . . .

Well how about an Anglo-Dutch tune up?





Most will recognise it as being bloody impatient:-

But my petrol strimmer now starts when ever I say so - I think it is too $#$^&$^%ing scared not to.
