That is an old school method for removing carbon from the cylinders...
Spark plugs? What are those? My glow plugs were simple.
and yep just a realy good method to removed carbon and the atf removes a lil more and softens what is left. just be careful doing it run the water or atf too fast you can damage things.

I did this Tuesday. Very subjective here ,but it feels like I gained a few ponies. My POS Dakota's 3.9 used to chug up the mountain sides very poorly and normally required a downshift to maintain speed. Now, it pulls fairly decently without a downshift even going SLOWER up the same grades. Upside also is the 3.9 doesn't seem to make as many awful noises and vibrations anymore.
No gain in MPG, but drivability is up.
Was I afraid to ruin it? Sure was, given it is my DD. But on the same vein, it is a steaming pile of E36 M3 and needs a V8 installed.
