Default W/I and deposits inside engine?????

I have a water/methanol injection kit on my Stage 3 SRT-4. I've been playing with different fuel/water injection formula's to allow me to hold HOM on my Stage 3 computer.

I've found NOS racing formula octane boost to do an excellent job allowing me to hold HOM with 91 octane gas and my w/i setup.

My concern is the possibility's of deposits forming inside of the engine because of the us of mmt in the octane boost.

I have heard that the W/i actually has a benefit of steam cleaning the engine and keeping harmfull deposits from forming, however I've never personally disassembled and engine that used water injection.

Anyone have any inputs on this????

thanks

I have no personal experience, but a combustion chamber cleaner every once and a while should do the trick. Also the w/I will help too.

An old mechanics trick...when an engine just started knocking on re-start after cooling off, it could be diagnosed as a piece of carbon that fell off the combustion chamber and on to the top of the piston. This makes one heck of a racket! The fix is/was to poor some water in to the carb and the steam reaction would break up the carbon! So yes, your chambers will run cleaner.
