How can I clean the intake?
So I have taken off the intake manifold today and got a shock!:scare2:
Soot and Oil bildup up to 2/16 " or 2-4mm. How do I get rid of it quickly? First impression was cast flesh in the intake- NO, its all gum and goo! Could I use some kind of brush? What solves that crap quickly? Thanks for your help- days of EGR are counted! |
:humm: Dont the VW guys clean them out with a wire brush or something similar???
|
If it's actually off the truck just throw it in the tub with some hot water and dish soap and let it soak. I did this with my radiator because it was crusted up with old oil about the same way. Had to change the water a few times but it came out squeaky clean.

hot soapy water and a hard bristle brush

Thanks folks!
I used an old bent spoon to get rid as much as possible of that stuff. But it's also in the head. No wonder the 3rd and 4th cylinder are starving for air. And I'm only at 65.000 miles... I will run and get the cleaner and the brushes today. |
Seafoam? Just a thought.
