Carbon clean

Post by X1MYS » Fri Jan 17, 2014 2:18 am

Hi guys thinking of doing a carbon clean to my beloved and thought I'd ask you guys if there is a step by step guide available I can follow with a list of tools and equipment needed !

As always any help is much appreciated

I have a word document that also includes the tools required when i did mine last year, would need an email to send it, i don't think i can PM a document?

It's still a nippy/fiddly job to do first time, probably took me 20+hours, including the port cleaning.

I've sent the guide to everyone that asked, like i said it's not the best in terms of printable quality, but it did the trick for me!

I did with a friend and we split it over two days so in total took around 14 hrs 2 hrs of which were spent trying to undo one bolt behind the inlets under where the throttle housing sits had to make a tool in the end to take it off and the actual cleaning the inlets took ages as it was really really bad here is a pic
