The aspirator tube is clear. It's old enough that's just a tube going to a steel precleaner and has no obstructions.
The intercooler/aftercooler looked clean at the bottom. I didn't think there was a need to inspect it any closer at that time. Do they look good when they are plugged? What's the best way to tell, shine a light through?
I plan on rigging up an adapter to pressurize the intake system with compressed air. Couldn't find the right size pvc tonight.
Edit: pressurize it to 30psi
Yes, shining a light through it is a good way to tell, same as a radiator. Or if there is a place to put a pressure gauge before the intercooler (I suppose you could tap a hole in your pvc fitting if there isn’t) you could compare them and see if there is a significant difference. That should tell you without having to tear it apart. |
