See the buildup inside the port, is that carbon build up?

^ Yea, id like it to be like that too but I cant take my engine apart just quite yet.
I am also guessing its permanent.
I am curious though, how does it become so uniform, what causes it to adhere to the surface and will it continue building like that forever?

Water injection huh. Something to consider for the future.
What about this, how much loss of power is there due to the build up?
Whats the worst carbon buildup known to date? Any pictures? I am just curious, how bad can it really get.

You can run "water injection" by just sucking up water while the car is sitting there. It might not clean up the exhaust ports but it will take care of your combustion chambers anyway.
Don't worry about it sam, the power difference is pretty meaningless for a street car and no it's not going to get much worse unless you run 11:1 all the time and start burning tons of oil.
