Re: Water Cylinder Decarbonizing... Should I?

If your engine is running fine, it is probably inadvisable to decarbonize it.

If you find you are pinging on acceleration when you didn't use to or other signs of having carbon deposits, then it is probably a good idea. Some people drive their trucks on the highway enough to decarbonize their combustion chambers naturally. Not every engine develops enough carbon deposits to cause degradation in performance.
