As per title really. I need to clean the inside of my TIP and inlet manifold, as there is some powdercoat specs inside from when they were done.

 

If I were to soak them both completely in oven cleaner, would it damage the coating?

Most powder coats are cured under lowest heats unless yours was a high heat powder coating I wouldn't risk it.

You'll prob find that the oven cleaner will do two things, discolour the outer finished coating and secondly not shift the bits that are inside the manifold etc.

 

I learnt the expensive way that powdercoating inlet manifolds is a tricky task, unless you are fanatical about the masking/bunging up phase.

Hmmm.... not too sure what to do now to be honest.

There's not much in them, so might just get in there as best as I can and give it a damn good washing out inside.

Can you not plug one end up then put the cleaner in, block the other end up and give it a shake every 10 mins or something?

Would that work

Surely specks of powdercoat aren't going to do any harm? Metal or swarf, certainly might.

 

BTW: Stoopid spell checker doesn't know swarf, tried to use "dwarf".... That would be a little bigger problem.
