I'm planning on running an intake off a blown motor. The piston let go and sent metal all through the intake. I took it to the local car wash and sprayed it down very well. I can not see any metal remaining and it looks clean inside. I also removed the panel on the bottom for oil drain back and cleaned. Are there any other hidden passages that can still contain metal that need to be cleaned?

 

sounds good..

when i ported my intake i then dunked it in gasoline, washed it out with the hose, let it dry, and shoot some compressed air down into the cervices. beyond that not sure what else u can do..

 

I remember how soaked I got washing my intake out at the carwash

Make sure the IAC passages are blown out real well and not plugged, too, if you haven't already.

 

A couple cans or brake cleaner would probably be real effective.

 

I also realized that their was still oil in the passage for the pcv line that runs into the intake. I'm glad I caught that...
