Cleaning tips....

So in my endeavors to prolong my current 3RZ motor I am going through and cleaning whatever I can. I have done the Throttle Body as of recent, but when I was doing that I noticed how dirty the Intake Manifold is. Now is there a way for me to take this off and clean it or am I better off just buying a new one? Also with this I am going to be painting/protecting parts that I can with High Temp. paint, I was looking into just buying a new one on eBay and taking my time cleaning it and painting and just replacing the old with a "new/old". what is a good price range for a used manifold, should I be aware of anything?

 

clean it

 

scrub with purple power degreaser.

 

Buy another intake manifold and waste your money .

Save your money for decent paint and cleaning supplies.

Or you can just send it to me .

Clean yours, then paint it if you must. You'll hafta clean anything you buy anyway, so just clean yours. Ain't that hard. Use solvent, then soap, then before you prime it use alcohol. Follow the directions on the paint. Use hi-temp paint and primer. Spray 2 or 3 coats. Take your time and do a good job. Nobody will ever know that you used your own manifold.
