i may try it, but the intake holds 4.3 liters of fluid if you look n the article, and seafoam is kinda expensive.

Traction Issuez · 23 Mar 2006, 04:05 pm

just get break cleaner and something to shove in the intake tubes......not that rob.

When I was running the shop we use to bake them in a oven at really high temps. It dries out the carbon build up (and smokes like crazy). When the smoke stops let it burn a while longer. Then after a LONG cool down use a stiff brush or (and carb cleaner not brake cleaner) to clean it out. Also you can use a rubber mallet and gently tap it all loose (it should just crumble and fall out).

Or, better yet install it the way it is and run some sand through it for awhile. That should clean it right up.
