[Shotimes] Cleaning 'Coated' TB's

[Ian Fisher]

Yeah, but I've heard that Berryman's can strip the
paint on the intake. If you have the gaskets handy, it
doesn't hurt to disassemble the entire thing and clean
it out thorougly using brake cleaner and a few
brushes. I think some people have used their
dishwasher but I prefer to keep my head on my neck so
I won't even think about it..

After it's all clean, you may want to run a PCV
catchcan to keep it clean..
