    H23 IM cleaning Questions

    After marking location of hose and stuff I broke Down the IM and TB



    Since I had Two IM I robbed the IAB plate out of the second one and pulled the butterfly's out to "Double Stack" them when i install them back which one goes first the spacer plate or the IAB plate?


    The questions I have on cleaning the IM and TB is... What is the best way to remove the old gaskets?
    I'm going to clean EGR valve up but what about the FITV, IACV, etc. should I break them down and clean them up as well they dont look into bad of shape?
    Thanks for all your Help CB's I could have started with out yall!

    The iab plate should go first. Soaking the gaskets in warm water works, but I use brake cleaner and a razor blade. Gotta be careful with the blade, you don't wanna scar the surface, it can cause leaks. I would recommend you clean everything, fully test it all apart and clean them very good.

      IAB should be on top and spacer on the bottom. If you do it reversed then you'll have a pocket of air when the IABs are closed, causing turbulence

          You can use a gasket scraper but you have to be careful not to gouge the aluminum since its a relatively soft metal. 3M also offers a neat tool to remove gasket material, it attaches to a drill motor and softly lifts/polishes material off the metal without rounding the edges off...also works great at lifting pinstripes off car finishes.

            cleaning of H23 parts

            Defiantly will look into that thanks, ...plus It means a new tool!

            Here is my progress so far, This heat here is keeping me in the AC when I get home. "105 Today" no lower then 100 for the last 45 day except for 1!
            When removing the gasket I scared the gasket side of TB so I Did my best in polishing them smooth. No rounded edged I guess If it leaks I could put on my big belt sander and if not I will hit up the JY!
            Prepared the IAB spacer for JB welding those holes that where left behind. Being that JB weld has a 600 degree tolerance I figured it would be fine
            Is there anything special that I need to use for those holes?

              Everyone uses JB Weld, it will be fine, the intake temps dont even come close to 600 degrees.

                I think JB-Weld is only rated up to 400 degrees. I'm not sure, so y'all might want to read the label/directions.

                For the purpose of the spacer, JB-Weld will work just fine.
