BARF! That must be the worst TB I've ever seen.

i sure as hell aint proud of it. im hoping that i can just do the HG and the Tc and after i clean it up and be done. it still runs but has no power at all. when i took off the mainfold the upper part you can see what looks like a mix of water and oil. so really i just hope that it doesn't get lower. i'll post what happens after i get the head off and then maybe i'll be back

You will need to clean from the throttle body to the head. I'm sure the injectors, the cold start injector, and the EGR are also a mess.

That's pretty bad. I've used oven cleaner in the past to clean out intake manifolds. It works pretty good cleaning out the hard to reach areas.

Now that is a great idea! I've never heard anybody suggest oven cleaner before. Those manifolds can be a bear to clean.

hey i bought some and it said on the can do not use on aluminum so i did not try it. but if you have used it with no problems then i am gona use it.

 

[arndog123]

Don't let it soak for too long because I think it actually eats aluminum. I let it soak for about 20-30 minutes, wash/brush off gunk and repeat as needed.
