To clean
1 Thoroughly clean the flange face of the top cover
and the induction manifold with an approved
detergent solution.
Warning! Do not allow compressed air to contact
your skin, if compressed air enters your skin obtain
medical help immediately.
Caution: Do not clean the tube stack in a caustic
solution.
2 Soak the fins of the tube stack in an approved
detergent degreasing fluid. Allow the excess fluid to
drain off and dry the fins with low pressure
compressed air.
3 Flush the tube stack through the outlet connection,
in the opposite direction of coolant flow, with clean
water.
4 Thoroughly clean the internal and external surfaces
of the intercooler casing, with an approved detergent
solution. It is important that the seats for the "O" rings
are thoroughly cleaned.
To inspect
1 Check the casing of the intercooler for cracks or
distortion, especially the flange faces which must be
flat to prevent leakage.
2 Check the tube stack for signs of leakage, cracks,
damaged fins or damaged hose connections. If the
tube stack is damaged or the tubes are restricted the
tubestack must be renewed.
