To start cleaning rocker covers and inlet manifold, at 11.30pm, using a full tin of degreaser in the process, stinking the house out, then washing them off in the shower. i am now serverly in the dog house

My pal does powder coating at work beef, he will clean them up properly before he does them, I just wanted to get as much of the shite off them as I could before he takes them, he's doing it for nowt, so I didn't want to take the piss and have them pitted when he picks them up tonight.

when you go to re fit them, take the secondaries off and give them a good clean, mine were all gunked up and once all cleaned with all new gaskets etc the car felt smoother

I've cleaned all the ports on the inlet, that was gunked up, but my IMRC is stuck open anyway, so my secondaries are constantly open lol

I've just got my lowering springs, I'm fitting them saturday, if it's not to much chew, I might fit the UIM and rocker covers after the springs as long as I get them back from the powder coaters tomorrow
