FAST 92mm cleaning and painting
I just recently bought Chris1313's ported FAST 92mm intake and throttle body combo. I'm matching it to a set of TFS 215 heads and hopefully making some big power.
Anyways, It looks like the intake is a little bit dirty on the inside. Looks like oil and a little bit of carbon build up. ( see finger ) What is the best way to clean these things up ? I was thinking carb cleaner + compressed air but I don't want to use anything that will hurt the gaskets/seals. Maybe just soap and water ?
Also, I'm thinking of painting the manifold gloss black. Does anyone have a recommendation of what kind of paint I should use ?
thanks,
Brian

now that is probably just some plastic and carbon I touched up a few spots for you before I sent it out...even better than it was on my ride ...
just shoot it with some compressed air and it will be good to go...I would get a long air piece of tube and bend a 90* on it and stick it though the 92mm inlet and hit each runner...
yeah crazy on the oil huh and I didn't even use the PCV system that is all from reversion from the intake valves...I wouldn't worry about the oil it is just going to be there again after a few miles...
glad everything arrived in one piece
good luck on the build...

That was my biggest concern, about how durable a rattle can job would be. I don't imagine these intakes get very hot, so would regular paint do the trick or should I go with some hi temp paint ?

Here's how I did mine if you're interested. It's an LS6 intake, but same priciples apply...

I just finished mine. I used the coarse and medium 3M square sponge like sanding pads from Home depot and then used a plastic primer and a black what they call hammered paint. I think its cooler without the letters and I also did the throttle body and lid at the same time.
