            Gas is good to break down oil, then again so is carb cleaner...I used carb cleaner for my intake manifold and its parts, can't really help you with everything else

              well dude. carburator cleaner. throte body cleaner. gas and gasoline. gasoline its one of the best things ever to clean stuff up.

              if u take the engine appart. then u better off rebuild it. lol change piston rings. and rodds. etc. do a nice valve job clean up or whatever.
              then run the ngine for 5k. etc then boost it. lol so u don't have to worry about the engine blowing up. hahah just my thoughts though. since u gona take it appart.

                  that or u can make a compresion test. and if all the # are ok then boost it. u don't have to take it appart and clean it. lol
                  if u take it appart then rebuild the engine. u there why not change all the stuff lol. don't do the job twice. anyways its up to u.

                      What the heck are you gonna do that for. If you wanna boost it for a lil while.. do it now, and dont boost it much. If you have the f22a6 sitting around, build that engine up, and keep that one for boost. When the time comes near, do whatever you want to the a1, and swap the newly built a6 in... run it for 5k, then boost it.

                      If you are gonna waste your time taking it apart just to boost it and take it apart again, you'll waste so much money, cuz you will want to replace all of the gaskets you come across.

                      So just build the extra a6
                      mess w/the a1 for now
                      when you get a6 done, swap it in

                      im sure mostly everyone will agree w/that that has done a swap.
