intake cleaning
I'm doing a EGR delete and oil cooler replacement and when I'm in there I cleaned up the turbo whitch brings me to the first question hase any one brocken the bolt for the band clamp around the turbo? Can I replace the clamp or just the bolt?
Question 2. is there a safe (for the engine) way to clean the inside of the intake manifold? I have a parts washer but will the residue or left over cleaner mess up the motor or censers when I put it back together?
Thank you
Chris

The clamps are not your average clamps --- advise you march over to Ford to get a brand new set.
If you are going above factory boost, I would think of new hoses as well.
There are some posts on how to do the cleaning of the plenum properly --- search for them.

Hey fj40 i just finished what you are doing. Put my manifold in my parts for 3 days, took off some but not much. purple power from wallmart works better, or just have it hot tanked. good luck, Hey take your time with turbo plumbing its easy to get leaks. I have got to pull turbo back off , think i have crack in y pipe

ok i'll pick some up and let it soak. and take it to the car wash and high pressure wash it with some degreaser. I'm doing a EGR del. so there should not be any more carbon build up in the plenum.

yup
I took mine with me to the machine shop when I had my heads pressure tested. Find a shop that will hot tank it. The one I used I think even bead blasted it to get it spotless, all for $25!
Since you are doing the EGR delete it shouldn't gunk up again. You might as well have full flow through it.

That's a little steep I'll check with the International mech. I've got some time to shop around.
