Ok, the indie was clueless as to pre-chambers
Since the car was sold in LA, there must have been an excess of city
driving, and the manifold never got cleaned out. The next ten years
must have just added to the snot build up.
So, I will have a fine time for another 150k miles. Unless the italian
driving sends flames through the intake, I do not think that would
solve the build up issue

ANYWAY, the 606 is direct injection, so no pre chamber.
I don't think so!
Why is this? EGR is dumping a bunch of carbon, but did all this come
about recently? With #5 dead, it has been hard to start and smoking
at
start about as bad as Gump. This is less than a month of hard start,
so I am amazed if this results in one month.
I'm told it doesn't take long, because it's kind of a self-perpetuating
process unless the majority of your driving is Italianate in nature.
Probably being indirect in nature (a 6XX part number) it's a lot more
sensitive to glop in the prechamber. Start with glop, and it stays
that way for awhile. And once you're over the threshold, it never
goes away.
