Remove all of the hose clamps and disassemble the intake into its various
pieces - side tanks (x2), crossover tube, and of course "the snakes".
Remove the TB, IAB, DIS, secondary butterfly assy (x2), and the little black
vacuum canister on the rear and set them aside. Then place the tanks,
crossover, and snakes into your dishwasher (bottom rack is best because it's
closest to the sprayer) and run a full cycle - use whatever dishwashing
detergent you have. Use the B-12 or brake cleaner on the TB, IAB and
secondary butterflies - don't put these components in the dishwasher. I
guess the TB would be alright in the dishwasher, but the IAB won't get
cleaned and the butterflies were easy to clean by hand.
Everyone laughed at me when I brought this up last summer, but it worked
great!!!!!!!! The best part - I didn't do a damn bit of scrubbing, my hands
didn't get dirty, and I didn't get those nasty chemicals all over myself.
I tried pouring the B-12 into the tanks and letting it sit for an hour - and
it hardly did squat!!! Plus, where do you dump all of that nasty brown
liquid? It will stain concrete floor and asphalt driveway just the same.
When the components came out of the dishwasher they were SQUEAKY clean.
Laugh all you want, but I've got the cleanest intake in the country.
