![]() So the throttle on my holley sticks open yet again and I finally bring the car back home, roaring all the way. I go to spray the throttle linkage with carb cleaner and find I have none, but I do have a can of wd-40. I proceed to spray all the linkages with it and thought...oh what the heck and sprayed down into the carb (what was I thinking?). The engine really really wanted to die but somehow didnt. Afterwards, though, my goodness! It has never idled so smooth ever. Ever. The throttle response was frightening. It was like there was no friction at all in the engine.
So here's a question: why not go further with this and pour some into the oilpan (mixed with oil, of course). I know it's really thin and it would probably go out the tailpipe, but would it damage anything inside the engine? If this is what a few puffs down the bore does, then imagine if this was all over the mechanical parts of the engine!
