So dump some dish soap and then flush with a garden hose? Is that enough flow to flush it well? Maybe block off one end to let it fill up then open it to let it rush out.
Intercoolers are pretty wide, I don't think it would fit in a 55 gallon drum. I wonder if a radiator shop would steam clean it. That should flush out the crap shouldn't it?
Get a plastic child's swimming pool, fill with water and simple green, when done with the intercooler then the whole family including the dog can jump in and take a bath.
I was thinking the same question. I was just gonna fill it with carb cleaner and shake it around for a while. Do that probably twice, then air dry....no pun intended.
I think I am going to call a radiator shop today and see if they can flush it. If they can they should be able to get it cleaner then I could. Rather no take a chance of haveing dirt, or whatever else may be in there, going into the engine.
I had the local radiator shop flush it, a little pricy at $40 I think, but maybe a small price to pay to be sure no dirt gets circulated through the cylinders.
