Okay. Not minty fresh. But, at least SPARKLING CLEAN!!!



If you're gonna tear the top of your engine apart,
you might as well clean everything. Right???

So how dirty was it? Very gunky (like everyone with a few miles should do this), or just a little dirty (like if your takin stuff apart anyway you might as well clean it)?

Well alrighty then. Thanks for showing us what a TB/ Butterfly valve look like. I'm sure we've never seen what those look like before. Yours sho do look special tho. Lol~

If ya wanna keep it clean; try running a catchcan on Bank1 PCV (and run Bank2 to atmosphere) since you're FI.

Oh, it was pretty nasty. Not gunky, though. Just dirty. Took about a 1/2 can to clean it thoroughly.
Intake manifold looked worse. Makes you want to install a catchcan whether you're FI or not.
