Just ordered my PCV kit yesterday from Swanson Performance, what all am going to have to clean oil off of/out of after I install it? I know I need to at least take the boot off to clean up, but what else can a guy that can install bolt-ons pretty confidently take off the motor to clean the oil that has gotten into it and not have to worry about his truck not working again?

Thanx,
Bill

 

get a cup of water and hook it up to a vacum line.

don't do this with new plugs though.

i know this will clean all the carbon out.

but for the intercooler, you might have to take the supercharger off

 

What all am I going to have to do to get to the intercooler, in taking the supercharger off am I going to be breaking seals that will have to be replaced? I have never done anything like that before to my truck, how worried am I going to have to be that my truck will work once I get it back together? Is there anywhere I can get instructions on how to remove and clean all of these parts to make sure I am doing it right?

Thanx,
Bill

 

no the gasket is a metal one, just don't take off the intake under the s/c.

its really easy, actually

 

Did a search for ya:

Good choice on the DS kit. I have one installed.

Thanx Dan, i'm actually on that thread so I did read it. Just to be clear, is all I have to remove is the blower to get to that point in the picture? What do I use to clean my intercooler if it looks like that? Dan, I think you have replied in every one of my threads that i have started so you inspired me to go with the DS kit, the fed-ex guy came today and I missed him, but signed the paper so hopefully they leave it tomorrow.

Thanx again,
Bill

 

I've never pulled the s/c or the i/c but I seem to remember seeing a pic with the i/c out and being cleaned in a part's washer or with a solvent like brake cleaner sprayed all over it. Good luck
