How about what Ed Beggs calls an Italian tune-up? (Pardon me Ed.) What's the general opinion of Italian tune-ups anyway?
Usually done to carburetted gasoline engines. Idea is that the high revs create large volume flow through the system, burning/blowing out any accumulated crud and carbon from your carbs, intake, combustion chamber, and exhaust system. Can attest to it's efficacy on a number of old Alfas and Jags. Fun to do. The technique is to accelerate up to about 9/10ths of redline, hold it there about 20 seconds, and lift off gradually. Shut off without idling as soon as possible afterwards.
Don't do this to an engine that is in poor shape, low on oil, timing belt/chain past due replacement, or has damaged motor mounts. You could break expensive bits.
