Since there have been a ton of threads on cleaning various intake parts lately, Sean is showing how to make an EGR blockoff plate to keep exhaust and crap out of the intake ect. Here is the easyest way on earth to clean shit. It only requires a few bucks, and time. What you need: Cheap antifreeze, crockpot, or very large pan that you will NEVER use for cooking again
1) Take ALL rubber, plastic and anything else NOT METAL off of what you are going to clean. (or it will be destroyed)
2a) Submerge your part into the antifreeze and set your crockpot on LOW heat
2b) Place pot in the oven @ 125F.
3) Go do something else for a long time. If the parts only have mild buildup, it may be an hour. If it is extremely bad, it may take 4-6 hours.
One thing should always be remembered: If you can smell the antifreeze, you're too hot, turn it down some.
That's it!
*Note* this only cleans aluminum, brass, nickel and steel. It really cleans more, but there is some common form of metal that will just turn solid black. If anyone screws up lemmie know which type of metal it was!
