Did this to my son's intake and it made a huge difference. I recommend this video to anyone pulling an intake to take the extra time to clean it out nicely.
Thank you so much Martin!! I cleaned mine on my 91 chrysler lebaron 3ltr v6 wit 87,000 original miles. It was full of carbon on upper and lower intake manifolds. I didn't use the purple power I used dollar generals LA's TOTALLY AWESOME degreaser and cleanser for about $1.50 half gallon took longer as I couldn't fine any of ur stuff. I also uses the long lint brush. Ur a life saver! Wish I could send u b4 and after pics, shining like a new dime! Have a Blessed day!!!❤
Had my intake off in 2018 to do knock sensors and did something similar. Had it off again today to do the valley pan and watched this video. The dryer wand brush was genius. I had a new one in the utility closet and used that with the purple power. It was fairly clean but glad I took the time to do it.
Thanks for the video. FYI-that Puprle Power is great stuff BUT be careful as it can disolve concrete. I spilled some in my garage floor a the spot started to become rubble.
Yes I've actually used it for a driveway cleaner before and it does work well but you gotta work fast because it can remove the finish. You need to rinse it thoroughly with water.
Thank you for doing this video. It was spot on for what I was looking for. I got the lint brush, and of course the purple power and the results were just as you demonstrated. 2006 LS intake looks brand new.😊
Another great and effective product for cleaning oily and carboned-up engine parts is professional HVAC outdoor coil cleaner.Some name brands are "Nu-Brite" and "Foam-N-Clean",with several store brand type knockoffs as well.These are concentrated alkaline products that react with the aluminum fins on the outdoor coils by foaming up and lifting off any dirt or corrosion,but they also work very well for soaking freshly disassembled nasty parts from a junk motor,for example,or any other metal part.I would not use it on that plastic intake,and it is very caustic and corrosive,so rubber gloves and caution are mandatory,as is heavy rinsing with the garden hose,but the stuff works great!Just FYI.Also, your vids were very informative during a recent rebuild of the 4.7 in my 2000 Grand Cherokee.Keep'em coming!
Just realized need to clean the one in our 2004 Corolla that is being engine overhaul, ordered Simple Green HD Purple as it wins a review vs Purple Power as more biodegradable. Will do that as soon as it arrive. Thank you for the great video.
Great video. I had the idea to use purple power on my upper intake too after needing to replace the bushings on the intake manifold runner control valve of an 02 mustang and wanted to find some videos of how other people cleaned theirs and this was very reassuring. I think I'd get along well with this guy if we ever had to work on a vehicle together.
I like the links to items used during your videos. I purchased the brush from your link thank you. Your videos are the best giving all information as you do your work very good explanations.
I just sourced a liquid intercooler from a Ford Super Duty to use on my project (because I'm cheap and re-purpose parts from other cars). Anyways, I didn't know how I was going to clean all the carbon out the damn thing. Saw your video, went to Sam's and bought a knock off purple power, let the thing soak, and now its spotless. Thank you so much.
Zep Purple!!! Works AMAZING and delete your PCV Valves Ladies and Gents! After that you can even go the extra mile and cut off your cctalytics, car will not smoke or make more emissions BECAUSE you eliminated the PCV system.
I’ve never cleaned my intake, but it definitely needs it! I’m cautious about what kind of chemicals to use on my plastic intake because I don’t want to have to buy a new one.
My 1.8 corolla has oil dripping from the bottom on the manifold, I will be replacing my PCV valve and cleaning my manifold the same you just did. Thanks for the video!
One quick note: Purple Power is corrosive. (Labeled on the back of bottle) You need to take off anything metal on the manifold. Such as that 1 bolt still in there. Did this video a year ago, that bolt is most likely completely rusted now and the others look good as new.
I've been using purple power for 15 years to clean engine parts as long as you don't let it soak In purple power for an extended period of time especially with aluminum it's perfectly safe I've never had any parts rust due to purple power. And as explained in the video to thoroughly rinse the product after cleaning it with purple power. Otherwise you will end up with a chalky residue especially on aluminum parts..
Glad i watched this😂 i was going to use my intake off of my blowed up engine and well there was remains of a piston and rings in there small enough to definitly ruin the other engine
Yeah you gotta be real careful with used intake manifold especially if they came off of engines that blew up because it will literally suck stuff from one intake runner to another.
Just changed the knock sencors on my 4.8 vortec engine.when i pulled that intake manifold off ive never seen so much carbon buildup in a engine like that.i have 421,000 miles on it & it shows it.im defintly about to purple power that rascall.thanks.
What about the part of the engine that the manifold attaches to? Most of my residue is in that part, but I dont want to spray any liquids in there. Is it safe to use air compressor?
Yup PCV valves are goof idea. Don’t want harmful vapors in the atmosphere. But if you want get a car to run well, hose it all out all over the ground. Need PCV, just don’t need to run it into intake
I recently upgraded with a new engine for my 4.7. I went with a 2008 intake manifold. Let me just say after you go to the larger intake you can definitely want to go with mid-grade gasoline. So that didn't take manifold a different throttle body 70 mm and different intake injectors I went with four port and removing the torque management was easily a 35 horsepower increase.
I'm glad to hear it all worked out as I would expect. Yeah I would say I gained probably the same horsepower that you're claiming, it sure felt like it anyway.
@@martinbuilt oh yes the jump to mid-grade 08 intake injectors, new motor 😎, torque management delete. Big games in horsepower it runs like a proper V8
Hey Martin, So after I got the new engine. It smoked a bit for about the first 200 miles then settled in nicely. Around 1500 mi I had to bring it into the shop. It's in the shop now actually. It was smoking bad It was letting out a cloud of white smoke I'm not sure if it's water getting in the cylinders or what? Compression felt good though just the smoke man, was eating oil. It's also detonating a little so I'm thinking non- Mopar cheap ass hydraulic lash adjusters went flat.
Hey Martin, I also have some Power Purple. It is a good product. However, the instructions specifically say NOT TO USE ON ALUMINUM. Maybe the manifold you are cleaning in the video is not aluminum, but I did hear you mention that if you were to use Purple Power on an aluminum intake to be sure to rinse well to prevent the white stuff that builds up.
I know that this manifold was obtained separately from any vehicle currently in your garage, but I have to wonder what the head would be like on the vehicle from which this manifold was taken? Specifically, if the head was in the same dirty condition as the manifold......how would you deal with it? Thank you.
hey man. you should try with ultrasonic cleaner. in this case need the bigger one to fit entire thing. and some engine degreasser. the bad thing. can be expensive
@@martinbuilt Yes also can confirm Totally Awesome lives up to its name. Guess if you can clean a geese trap you already know how to clean an engine haha.
My intake on my Chrysler has a runner that opens the flaps to allow air to come in manifold. If After I clean out all the carbon if I spray some WD-40 on the runner that controls that flapper would that cause issues? The friction of the runner due to the carbon buildup is causing my car to code.
Nice job Martin.I wish I would have taken the time to do that to mine when I just recently replaced my heads.I just wanted to get my truck back on the road.It is my DD...
That stupid plastic T at the heater hose connection busted while driving down the interstate one morning and it over heated.I didnt really know how bad it was so I replaced both heads.Timing chains,water pump,fan clutch,belt and tensioner were also replaced at the same time.Almost forgot I did lifters too....Come to find out it was only a head gasket..She runs pretty good now for having over 200,000 mi.on her.....
Well hopefully others will read my comment first before making the same mistakes as me: 1. Do follow safety instructions. Purple Power will tear up your hands. 2. Do not soak parts long term in the stuff. I figured if it soaked white stuff would not appear. It will actually form under the surface of purple power. 3. Yea, don't use on aluminum. 4. Even after soaking it, I still have deposits inside my intake plenum.
@@yes.orjust-no I think I left it for a day or so (probably longer). I finally built my own parts washer and washed the deposits along with other crap using diesel fuel. (maybe not the best choice, but it was available). And when I put the pickup back together, praise God, it ran, and ran well. Now I need to do something about the leaky transmission and rotten cab ;)
I've used purple power for 10 years here and there mostly on my driveway. When I saw you using it with bare hands I cringed because that stuff will melt your skin. You normally dilute the PP with hot water to "activate" it. I'm no tree hugger but I would have contained two gallons of contaminated Purple power and disposed of it properly. Other than that, good video.
@@martinbuilt I did and hit the links to buy both items. Had some mechanic spray seafoam directly into the tps and gummed up everything, replaced the short runner valve and tps myself after buying a scanner and resolving the codes. Last thing left to do was this. Thanks a bunch! A non-mechanic.
Hey @Martinbuilt thanks for this cool video. Sorry been busy so here in few days I’ll try to catch up on vids. I was wondering, my intake is OEM, however after tracing heads I notice that there is a very small overlap. What is your thoughts on “porting” the intake to match? Is this unheard of?
My 2013 f150 v6 3.7 has a weird noise when I put on reverse and drive on neutral and parking no and thr mechanic noticed the noise came from the intake what to do? Thanks
I notice on your cutaway motor there you have what looks like Spectre filters over the crankcase breathers...is it possible to do that and just remove all of that plumbing in the back of the motor? Anytime I can remove annoying stuff like that plastic tubing, I do!!!!
This manifold will be going on the HO engine that I'm rebuilding. I have used this same method to clean the intake that I'm currently running on my 04 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Hey Martin I don't know if you can get back with me or not but I got a question after you took the manifold off the car Underneath It On The Block I got a bunch of oil and water can it be cleaned out and read and fix
Yeah definitely clean all that up underneath the intake manifold area of the engine block. You need to determine Is where that oil and water is coming from.

I'm going to do this I took my intake manifold out for this exact reason. Question where can I get a long brush.
Purple power is one of the best degreasers out there. Use it to clean my engine bay and does wonders.

Really great choice of music. Thank you for giving me more inspiration to turn my car into the badass it was once made to be
I'm glad you like it. Yes this intake has been one of my best improvements for the 4.7

You need to rinse it thoroughly with water.

After cleaning it up with purple power you may consider installing a oil catch that will keep that intake manifold clean.

8:00 as it flows into Lake Mead ;)
Is putting this carbon & purple power down the storm drain a good idea, the storm water just goes into ponds and is not treated
Purple power is biodegradable and I know for a fact that all the water that goes down our storm drains is treated.
@@martinbuilt wow great. our storm water is not treated.
Didn't want to try the blow torch and compressed air method on that plastic manifold?
I think I'll stick with the Purple Power/brush method...lol
Thank you this video
Any recommendations to dry the manifold quickly?
Perhaps take your Shop-Vac place it into the throttle body end of the intake and the air drawing through the intake manifold will help dry it out.
Hey Martin I don't know if you can get back with me or not but I got a question after you took the manifold off the car Underneath It On The Block I got a bunch of oil and water can it be cleaned out and read and fix
Yeah definitely clean all that up underneath the intake manifold area of the engine block.
