You still need to get air into the cylinders as well...that's what the
intake manifold is for. ;)

Thanks John, a two beer job,that's about 15 minutes, hehe.

A dumb question though for anybody.
When we pour any liquid such as this cleaner or water, as per Bernd, how
does it get into the combustion chambers of a fuel injected engine as our
fuel injectors inject fuel directly into the chamber? Would I be correct in
assuming that it takes the same path as the air (and also through the intake
valves)? Don't laugh guys, I am ignorant when it comes to fuel injection.
Wouldn't adding cold liquid hurt the warm or hot valves or the dreaded belly
pan gasket?

Thanks in advance for any responses,
Jay
