Flushing the Intercooler?

[SIKDMAX]

Need to flush my intercooler since theres oil in there and I dont want that in my new shiny motor! Hopefully itll stay that way too since I rerouted by PCV and got rid of the EGR.

Whats the best way to clean that thing out? Ive heard hot water, diesel, Brakleen, etc.

Or take it to a Rad shop and say Flush it, be back in a bit!

I'd like to know also what's the best way to clean one.

Gas... just let her air out for a couple days before you hook it up.

Use Dawn and hot water and clean and let air dry for while

If you take it to a rad shop the nice thing is is that they can also pressure test it. I think you would get a better cleaning as well from someone that does it everyday.

Gas, just hook a shop vac blowing through it for about 30 min befor you reinstall. I have about 2 quarts of oil in mine and the gas got it right out:happy2:
