This is is perfect! Recently picked one from salvage yard and needs to be cleaned. This couldn't have come at perfect time, Thank you Martin!

Purple power is one of the best degreasers out there. Use it to clean my engine bay and does wonders.

Martin, your vids are always informative and inspiring! Congrats on your success thus far! God bless, and keep Jeepin’ 😎

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 good video! Very handy. Are we just going to ignore the fact that he's a ghost? Love the entrance!

A simple, honest, demonstration of a process that works. Thank you sir, very useful information!

Took mine to a machine shop. For $40 they put it in a ultrasound tank. Even the brass nut-serts came out shiny

That looks like the perfect brush to clean between the truck bed and cab! I’ve been looking for something like that for years lol. Thanks!!!!

Thank you so much for this! My car was so gummed up inside I wasn't sure what to do. This helps me out a lot!

This should be retitled to "Giving Your Intake Manifold a Colonic"

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!!!❤

Purple Power is the best. Good tip about getting water from the bottom of the heater, by the way!

Your videos are very educating and clearly shot. Keep the the good work

good work Martin...cleaned up very nicely.

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

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.

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.

This is exactly what I searched for, Thanks! Purple power sure isn't what it used to be. I was using this back in the mid to late 80's and you didn't dare use it without gloves on, as it would start drying your skin out to the point of the skin cracking. I know that they took it off of the consumer market for a while and then brought it back out as a diluted version.

Another project on my list to do, Thank you Martin

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!

Thanks Martin learning from you a lot...

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.

Nice job making this video and describing all the steps involved.

Super clean works really great too I like purple power also

Freakin' Awesome! Thanks Martin.

Dude love the music a true car guy channel thanks for the great 👍 content

Purple Power every drop is like Gold, good stuff!

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.

Just finished the final rinse on the intake for my 04 Crv and it looks like a brand new part. I used one gallon of Purple Power undiluted and several different sized brushes. I let the intake soak in a Rubbermaid bin and then spent about an hour scrubbing. Thanks for the tip!

that's a whole lot dirtier than I expected. Lm7 5.3 got mine off, shes definitely getting the same treatment, nice video boss

Great video and instructions. Congratulation!

It's so cool how he has the ability to phase in and out of reality. Oh and yes thanks for the car help .

Awesome thank you sir. Alot of help

Martin I started using Purple Power last year and it is a fantastic product!

I really appreciate your video! It really helped me quite a bit! Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for the video. This was real helpful

Nice video! I need to clean an intake since it has metals from a valve!

New viewer here, thank you for your view on this procedure.

Good video very transparent on the cleaning procedure

Wow this is a great idea! I’m gonna do this. Thanks for the video!!

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.

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.

Thank's Martin iam going too do mine too an crank case breather system probably be the best time to thank's

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.

Fantastic video!

Solid beard dude!

If only this video had come out last week when I had my intake manifold out😢, Great video btw though👍

Marvelous Martin! Awesome 💪💪👍👍

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

Thankx 4 the video Brother. Very helpful.

Big thanks I figured I could hose it down but had to make sure

That was a huge difference.

Purple Power! I use that on everything

Simply amazing! Very informative

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.

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.

Great video!

Thank you for this video

Thank You for the video

Chooched that intake pretty good!

Thank you this video

Great work man!!! I'm working on an 04' ford explorer nbx. Just wanted some insight on this. Thanks man.

thanks for the info I'm 13 but I still wanted to learn about this

How about the mating area on the actual engine? Got any videos on doing that? Great job

thankz!

Nice video Martin. I have been thinking on doing this for a while. Have you run the manifold after the cleaning? Any issues if you have. Thanks.

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.

Thanks Martin, Still waiting for your release on those mugs!

Purple power is great for caked on geese too I have seen it used in restaurants.

I love it. Washes it all down the storm water..

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.

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...

Dang Martin All those 0 to 60 pulls.

You are a king

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

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?

WOW great video!

Looked great

Good video, man! What did you use to shine up the plastic on the outside? My LS intake manifold is looking beat. Thank you.

We dont have any particular cleaner...can I use Petrol , kerosene or Isopropyl Alcohol. We do have carborator cleaner in cans can that be used too?

Well done.

Thank you

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.

Your neighbors love you....

Your my hero

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?

Show us how you installed a water hose to your water heater. I can't find a KZfaq video on that

I use full strength Awesome

Hmm very similar to cleaning a dirty bong. A Helpful tip: Use salt or a light abrasive to help scrape off resin/carbon .

Thanks!

How to change oil pump????

Thanks

That music rocks!

Rebuilding my 99 350. Lots of cleanup required

How much would a mechanic charge to clean the intakes???

Ok, i subscribe you... good work bro..

I have code p2006 one of them stuck open will this clear the code? Engine light on need smog! :(

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!!!!

Way Way Way Better

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
