How To Completely Restore an Intake For CHEAP!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 тра 2018
- It is worth every bit of effort to take the time and clean up an intake manifold. It's the first thing you see when looking at an engine and should alwasy stand out. Here I'll show you how I clean this manifold up with nothing but a paint stripper, wire wheels, And paint colors!

FYI exhaust gets polished intake side stays rough . Manifold looks great
intake ports should be rough.. it creates turbulence so the air can mix with the fuel.. exhaust should be polished!! Cheers from Argentina!
Disagree
@@MrCbell57 that intake doesn't use injectors its carbed and therefore is still a issue
Myth
Thank you.
This guy is correct the reason ya want a semi rough surface in your intake is cause it causes gas to atomize better. Look at any high end cylinder head port or intake and you’ll never see a mirror finish. You’ll see only mirror finish on exhaust ports to help with carbon building up and that’s the only reason. You can think what ever ya want but if ya disagree I guess my response would be where’s your polished intake tract ground pounder and I’ll butter your eye with my rough ports.
Really glad to see a video on cleaning carbureted intake manifolds by Craig 💯😂 keep it up my man
Your poor grass.. 😂😂
Hey Craig great video watch them every time!
Looks great!! Love the vids, I’m a fellow ford owner(89 Ford F-150) I have a couple touch up pens for things like this, they are actually touch up markers for door frames.
Nice Video of Custom Style of your Own! Thank You for sharing!!!
I’m so glad your getting some performance parts!
You don't want the intake ports to be glass smooth.. its supposed to be rough to help the air and fuel mix better.. exhaust side should be smooth
Tayde Odegard is right. Exhaust glass smooth. Intake should be a little rough
Disagree
@@sbfguy7793 you are wrong and stupid,this is why the comments section sucks.idiots like you disagreeing with the correct answer because you are a fucking idiot.
@@MrCbell57 I think you’re wrong. You keep mentioning injectors, which are almost always at the base of the intake and not at the carb flange. They’re spraying directly at the back of the intake valves, vs Inside a “long runner” intake that makes bends before it gets to the cylinder. Those edelbrock “annular” boosters you mentioned are NOT new tech, some flathead fords had carbs with annular boosters, a lot of Holley 2300 2 barrels that came with fords stock had annular boosters. Not new technology. If “wet” style intakes are meant to be smooth, why did they add rough bumps at the base of the carb? If you’re running a traditional style long runner intake like this with a carb, or even carb style fuel injection like a Holley aftermarket injection, the casting needs to be left rough..
Thank you, I'm working on an aluminum intake manifold off a straight six, this works out perfectly, Nice job explaining it....
Thanks for the idea another great video by the Craig
you can also use Easy Off oven cleaner to remove paint. just be sure to get the yellow can. it is a little bit stouter than the blue can.
Looks good. I am about to strip a weiand dual plane intake going on my explorer motor for my 1965 F100. Hope it turns out as good as yours.
Porting is good, polishing the intake is counter productive. Leave it as rough as possible. Air and fuel will mix better. We used to race stock cars 35 to 40 years ago. The class we were in did not allow headers or aluminum intake manafolds. I took an Edelbrock intake and ground off all the lettering, painted it, covered in dirt and oil and never got cought with it.
I’m totally shocked that anyone has ever fudged,fractured or found a loophole in any stock car rule.😬👍
@@georgemyers6518 when my Dad would go on Vacation, I would time in his car slow so I could drive both cars in different races that day. Could never look the pit boss in the eye!
Nice! My old intake is UA-cam famous. Lol. Btw, I didn’t do any of the porting on it , and I have no idea why my buddy ground down the edelbrock embossing.
Dude in the grass lol whyyyyy
What type of bmx is that sitting outside?
People mess up aluminum intakes by using bolds on the carb instead of studs. Put studs in finger tight with a drop of thread lock.
Cool truck! I love the 289! great little engine.
Can you tell me why?
Hey craig, in ur video u said that some of the ports are in even and that worries u, there is a gasket maker (glue) comes in a silicon type tube, it's orange, us that, it should work great for that, me and my cousin use it when we rebuild the tractors on his farm, there's been 3

Oliver 1750
white 2-135
And a white 2-155
It's worked great
People put aluminum intakes on using bolts and they strip them out. You should use studs and nuts on aluminum.
Great video love it
Is that a axial scx10 sitting on his work bench
Toothpicks work good for putting down paint on fine areas like that
Just pulled my off my engine and plan on doing this cleaning tomorrow
Like your vids and great personality
Craig are you going to LS fest next summer
I just wire wheeled my engine, and clearered all the cast parts and cleared them so I don't have to polish them to keep them clean
You make great vids
The term " port and polish" is from the 1960's. We have learned so much since then. The smoothest you want the ports is 80 grit sandpaper roll. Standard in any head porting kit. If you polish the port to a shiny finish you WILL KILL HP. Just carbide burr and sandpaper roll that's it
Some intakes& heads use the dimple layout on runners to increase their airflow.
I have not tried it, probably should test somewhere you can't see, but I wonder if a needle scaler [for welding] would dimple the aluminum back to closer to natural casting?
I heard blocking the crossover is worth HP?
Bead blasting would do a good job also. Mine turned out great and didn't take long to do.
I love the channel
“Bigger jets”. Boi mad fuel lol
looks good
Will you ever lower your truck or just rock it how it is
looken good keep the vids goin
I approve of the Godsmack in the background @ 13:20.
Awesome video man! Keep it up, the F100 is gonna be sick!
i like to polish them and it is easy with the right tools
ps dyno tune it after installing and my 327 built nuts out only required 2 485 cabs on the blue prints and it is running 1200 hp on pump gas most sb only need 600 cfm and my 327 is built like a top fueller but only have a tunnel ram with 13 to 1 compression no nitro built by bell automotive if u over carb u can lose hp i race pump gas only and it has to drive on the street and u can't strip the body down
Yo, what’s the story on that headliner kid?! Dig it, LMK. Keep it up
BTW helicopter coils are the way to go with aluminum. Being soft aluminum threads just don't last long. Helicopter coil are a way to fix damaged threads but can and should be a standard practice when dealing in aluminum
The runner that was ground on was someone removed the Edelbrock. Nevermind I was writing this while watching the video and you realize that used to say Edelbrock at the same time. Lol
You can use epoxy to build it back up, where to much material was taken out.
When I worked in the military electronics industry ever aluminum pieces with threaded holes had heli coils. Why you ask? Longevity
Did he not notice that one runner wasn’t clearance for any reason it was simply they ground the edelbrock off. Not sure why they ground that off and left performer rpm.
🤘
nice vid....but the grass probably still hasn't grown back ?
How about that RC car Jeep Cherokee in your garage what is it about 4 more about it
if you had a sand blaster it would give it the original look
Edelbrock Performer is a classic dual plane intake. Then the guy hacks the separator out? Apparently, he was trying to make it into an RPM? Why not just buy the RPM manifold to begin with? He must have got a new carbide tool for Christmas and wanted to try it out LOL. People do funny stuff. Anyway nice restore, putting the paint on there probably saved some work.
Every part I remove that's aluminum gets heli coils so threads are good for future repairs repair
Wouldn't just another application of paint stripper be easier than all the grinder work? Also once the paint is all gone, then use mag wheel cleaner for open pore aluminum and don't leave it on too long. The aluminum will almost look like a new casting.
You would be better using aircraft paint stripper as most of the normal paint strippers are crap
Paint maker for the letters. Much easier.
GLASS BEAD MANIFOLD DUDE
use a good black permanent marker for the type😉
The Dremel wire wheels from harbor freight suck. They break in 2 seconds. I've had to just spend the extra cash on Dremel brand
It's possible he was having clearance issues..thanks for the video
11:26 Good by grass. 😂
Anybody else notice the scx10 cherokee?
Dead grass spot??
Spray some paint into thelid, then dip whatever you are using for an applicator.
@5:17 threw it like a BALLER
I would suggest wearing some safety glasses next time
Hey Man! Green lawns matter.........
I think it looked better painted blue.
Where did get that flag sticker for the cab of your truck?
Intake ports are to be chamferred so atomization is at its best
This guy looks just like Tim Heidecker
Over cleaner will remove paint
Guys ( DAVID VIZARD ) enlighten yourselves!!
I would get rid of the carb...holley is the best..
First
Cam time now
Oven cleaner will remove paim
Be careful using a wire wheel with no safety glasses!
Funny story with safety glasses, the chip bounced into my face at an angle, then from there hit the inside of the glasses, then from there, right into my eye. Sometimes they are great, but you always get that one rogue one.
All those nasty chemicals in the ground, hmmm?
How about a plastic bin or something that can contain it? I mean anything is better than nothing.
Blah, Blah, Blah! get to the point!
Okay you shouldn’t use paint stripper on aluminum it’s cam damage the structure of the metal and cause it to fail.
Do you think that paint stripper is a more caustic chemical than mag wheel cleaner for open pore aluminum? Just asking. Paint stripper, if left on for 15 minutes, and then washed off will not turn the aluminum dark or black, but open pore mag wheel cleaner will if left on the surface for more than one minute. Just my experience.
Talking for 5 minutes ( I didn't look up your video 2 hear about your carburetor jets)
Sandpaper to mating surfaces? Wth No! Not even green scotch rite can be used on any mating surface man . Good intentions horrible execution “f” Ruined project will leak and now cost more than a new manifold .
