[chris_335]

hi all i have a small prob the inside of my inlet is coverd in Crud BIG Time and want to know a easy way of cleaning it out any ideas


any one know the torque settings for the m30 head-bolts
please

if you mean the manifold itself, unfortunately.. no!
it'll be a biach to remove in-situ too. possible but not fun.

the rest (TB, hoses, AFM etc) are all easy enough to pop off and clean

[chris_335]

yes the inlet is off
and just need a good plan
was going to use some petrol
and then play with some air tools but not sure

and any one know the torque settings for the m30 head-bolts

I believe acetone is the wonder stuff for cleaning inlet manifolds. if not bmw dealers might sell you the stuff available for cleaning e36 tds ally manifolds.

i poured some TFR into mine, sloshed it around a bit, left it to dissolve for a while the pressure washed it out. clean as a very clean thing
