Cleaning Intakes

I have cleaned several nasty rascals by tossing them into the soak tank for the weekend (aluminum cleaner tank), washing them with varsol when they come out, if still dungy hit them with Acetone and varsol /wash again.

I try not to bead blast manifolds because it is almost impossible to get all the grit out. I will glass bead them, then into the soak tank routine to get it all off/out.

This is the same proceedure I use to polish parts prior to starting in with the sanding etc...

These motor plates and alternator bracket reinforcement were nasty dirty scrap aluminum sheet.
