Ed, about a pint or so for each cylinder. After you do it a few times you'll know how fast to pour. If there is carbon on the cylinder walls, you've got more problems than I can solve.
Mostly, the carbon is on top of the piston and on the head and valve surface. This increases the compression ratio and causes detonation, especially because the carbon will glow and can ignite under pressure, like a diesel.
I guess if you pour too fast you could conceivably hydro-lock a cylinder and bend a rod, that's why you keep the revs up, to keep the water moving through.
Mark, totally agree. You and I could have that thing purring in an hour or so LOL!
