Message: [QUOTE="TARM, post: 1046191, member: 578"] I run a degreaser flush with boiling hot water thru ones that are pull off after testing or any that have been run for there life with the CCV running into the intake. This is to get oil out not large foreign matter like rags etc.. I would be careful in using Simple Green as the cleaner on anything alum unless you can be very sure you get it all out. I would chose not to use it at all on alum just to be safe. I use to use it for everything and its my number one choice for engine and drive-train cleaning. Now as long as there is no alum its still my first choice but alum not so much. The Army actually lost a Chinhook (crashed) from rivets breaking from embrittlement/corrosion that was believed caused from use of simple green for cleaning as part of gen maint. I doubt it would do much of anything, harm wise, used one time but why chance it as a hole in the IC is not a good thing. I pull the IC and flush it with hose water. Then get some boiling hot water and fill it up with that and let sit for 10 min. Flush then add the degreaser with more boiling water. Flush with more and then finally flush with hose water again. Blow it out with air ( leaf blower works) for a few mins. Let sit and reinstall the next day. Yes I tend to go overboard but how often are you really going to do this? Once you pull the CCV from the inlet it should never need it again under normal conditions. [/QUOTE]
