Well,
I got my intake manifold a few days back, it was filthy, literally, disgusting...so I sanded the crap off the outside, looks better, so I look into the ports, looks like crap, dirt everywhere...looks nasty, I looked in from the blower side, loose crap built up in the bottom, now I panic'd, I remove the endplate to find oil, yes honey colored oil around the cores end, well, I remove them all, hold it in one hand, I feel something cold, ******* cores pissed oil on my, not from inside where the coolant goes, but from where the air passes from, honestly it was sickening no way this came from a running car, so to continue I washed them all for a hour, only used running hot water, got a lot of oil ohh from them, but we all know bi polar and polar liquids dnt wash themselves off, so wanted to know if anyone knew how to properly clean these things, what soap/cleaning chemical can I use? As for drying Its getting hot soon so I'm just wrapping them in toiletpaper and letting the heat that build up in my car evaporate the water out


Ps I didn't loose any of the 8 thin washers, 8 thick washers or 8 orings

 

brake cleaner/engine cleaner

 

yup a degresser should do the trick.


you dont want oil in your coolant homie.



are u actually going to get this build done or just mess with ****

 

He'll buy the parts, give up and sell them at a discount. Just like he's done with the last 3 build plans.

 

That's what I was thinking. Or some throttle cleaner, if all else fails, clean. It with fuel
