 |
|
I bought a medium (dont know what medium) blasted inlet manifold. I also had the flange flattened.
But just before fitting it I realised the inside is not clean at all at the moment and any residu of the blasting/machining will be going right in the block.
How should it be cleaned to avoid any damage?
Cheers,
Duncan

Lots of compressed air.

Thats what the machinist said and did.
But I am still reluctant to bolt it to my overhauled engine...
Some bathing?

Sure, soak it in some water with detergent. That should help loosen any grit that might be stuck in oil residue. -And run a bottle cleaning brush through it.. Hose 'er down, and let 'er dry.
