5speedz34 Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 You could spray some carb cleaner into and clean it that way. You could also get some Chem-Dip (avalable at most parts stores) and pour it into the intake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veritasz34 Posted May 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Yes I'm talking about the upper intake plenum. I have it off doing some mods..I was just wondering if their is anything to do while I had it off.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Port and Polish, and chem dip are the only two things that come to mind for mods while its off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteOut Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 The best thing I've found for cleaning the upper intake is gasoline. Pour a quart or so into the upper intake, swish it around a bit and pour it off into another container. Repeat a couple times, then add the washings to a some other gas and use in in your lawn mower. Works great, its cheap, and you'll get an assload of gunk out of there. I'm sure I'll catch flak for this, but I'd much rather change a single fouled plug on a cheap ass mower than plugs on my Cutlass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gp90se Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 Gas never worked so well for me and carbon buildup. Valvoline makes a killer top end cleaner that breaks down carbon on contact, but its hard to find. Couple cans of brake cleaner or berrymans chem dip will do the job as well.

White93z34 Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 may as well do lower intake gaskets while your down that far. cheep and easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 You should just try to get the 96+ Intakes instead of porting and polishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonyman87 Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 pull the lower intake while you have it tore down that far and check to see if you are leaking oil around the valley plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwingvksm Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 pull the lower intake while you have it tore down that far and check to see if you are leaking oil around the valley plate X2, since ya got 1/2 of it off - might as well play it safe.
