2010年10月17日 · If you bead blast it, the look changes but muriatic acid will make it look like it did when it first came out of the box. I mix it 4:1 with water and first get the part clean of any gunk and grime. Spray the intake and let it sit for 30-60 seconds. use a stiff bristled brush to clean any stains (wear rubber gloves and a face shield).

2012年9月20日 · Short of sending it out, your next best bet might be to clean with mag wheel cleaner and then run over it with low-speed brass wire wheels (mounted in a drill). I did that with a set of finned drums, and it works well. However, I don't know of any arbor-mounted brass wire wheels small enough to get into the nooks and crannies of an intake. -Brad

2013年4月14日 · It's a cleaner that will best keep your manifold looking new. Edit : By the way if you use any form of mechanical cleaning method like the next poster suggests - wire brush, say goodbye to the untouched raw aluminum look. You may as well have it powder coated in color. And I can't believe someone actually suggests WD40 as a cleaner

2017年8月29日 · This: worked well for me. I pulled the intake (gaskets were leaking, plus I found an extra pushrod) and cleaned the gunk and greasy stuff off with purple cleaner and a stiff scrub brush (Lowe's, get a couple of "grout brushes" from the cleaning supplies aisle), then this stuff to get the baked on gas off.

2010年1月8日 · Simple Green is great stuff but I've also had good luck with Eagle 1 Wire & Chrome Wheel Cleaner. It's a caustic solution so use with caution, but it cleans cast aluminum very well. I just used it to clean up a couple of old WCFB carbs. I spray it on, scrub it with some stiff brushes (toothbrushes work well), then rinse repeatedly with clean water.

2013年6月27日 · From the time I install a new aluminum intake, I use a siphon sprayer and lacquer thinner when ever fuel stains start to appear. It has kept the manifold looking new. GassersGarage , Jun 28, 2013

2023年1月21日 · Hello. I am new to the H.A.M.B., but a long time car guy. I have a '40 Ford Coupe, a '61 Pontiac Catalina, and a '72 Nova. When I rebuilt the bored 283c.i. Chevy in the '40 9 years ago, I used Fel-Pro 1256 intake manifold gaskets with the Trick Flow 23 175 heads based on recommendations from Trick Flow. The car has an Offenhauser 3 x 2 intake ...

2008年8月4日 · .....yeah, so get out a sharp chisel and tap it under the heads of the rivets and work them out of the manifold being careful not to F-up the tin. Once the shield is off clean/blast the intake and tin. Find some small screws (I think #12's work) and drill/tap the holes in the manifold and reinstall the shield. Use loc-tite on the screws. -Bigchief.

2023年4月15日 · When using glass beads to clean the intake be sure you seal the holes. The beads will stick to the gunk inside the runners know of a guy who blasted the intake. He never thought about the beads sticking in the gunk. Cost him an engine.

2008年12月9日 · Bead blasting is the way to go though if you want to get it really clean and rust free to be able to get a nice paint job on it. POR 15 engine enamel is pretty nice. You brush it on and it goes on thick so you only need one coat. Spray can engine enamels look okay if you get the parts really clean first.
