Edelbrock has posted a tech tip titled Cleaning Your Edelbrock Aluminum Intake Manifold

Edelbrock Tech Tip:
Cleaning Your Edelbrock Aluminum Intake Manifold

While networking with consumers at shows and events, we learn a lot about our customer and what they want from Edelbrock. The old adage, “necessity is the mother of invention” is very true in most cases. This leads us to the question that has incited us to write this Edelbrock Tech Tip feature, “How do you recommend I clean my Edelbrock intake manifold”?Edelbrock intake manifolds are manufactured from a sand cast process utilizing 808 aluminum alloy and have an as-cast wheel-a-brated finish. As-cast is defined as a raw aluminum finish without any protective coating. As-cast aluminum is porous and can absorb under-hood chemicals such as dirt, grease and fuel, resulting in discoloration, rust, or staining. All Edelbrock intake manifolds are as-cast unless offered in our high-luster EnduraShine™ or PermaStar® coated finishes.

Once a porous aluminum finish is stained, it can be very difficult to find an environmentally safe cleaner that will actually extract the blemish from the pores of the aluminum. In our research in finding a safe and effective alternative, Edelbrock has found an aluminum cleaner option that can work effectively, OxiSolv Aluminum Cleaner. It is important to follow OxiSolv’s instructions to prevent damage to other parts on your engine.

Manufactured by OxiSolv, a manufacturer of industrial and commercial cleaning products, OxiSolv Aluminum Cleaner is effective for use in cleaning our as-cast aluminum intake manifolds, cylinder heads, and water-pumps when used as directed. Edelbrock does not sell OxiSolv, however you can visit the following websites for additional product information and locations on where to purchase.

For the first time Flowtech is offering a high-performance, full length header for the 2005-06 Mustang GT V8. They feature near equal length primary tubes, tight tuck slip fit collectors, and all factory emissions connection hook-ups. These headers have been optimized for off-road and racing use, yet they function equally well in street applications. Designed for a simple install, they go in easily from the bottom and require un-hooking the steering column shaft from the coupler, which Flowtech estimates to be a 5 minute job. While all emissions connections are intact, Flowtech recommends an O2 simulator to be used with these headers. Available in two finish options; heat resistant black, or Flowtech’s unique Thermal Barrier coating.

You’ll find MSD support at a number of shows, races and events throughout the year. One of the most popular questions we received last year was whether our caps were available in black. It seems that a lot of people with restified muscle cars or detailed engine compartments would prefer to be a little more subtle than our red caps would allow.

We went down to our injection mold department and waited until one of the machines ran out of the MSD red DuPont® Rynite material. Once the operator turned away, we filled the hopper with black material and flipped the on switch. The result is a great looking satin black cap that is supplied with our wire retainer.

Nothing brings more attention to a car than the sound of its engine, especially at a car show or cruise-in. Comp Cams’ new Thumpr^TM Series of camshafts provides power you can feel and hear! In the past most cam designs that produced a noticeable thump in the idle sacrificed economy and drivability. These cams have been engineered with lobe profiles that maximize the rough-idling characteristics of the cam without negatively impacting the power output or streetability of the engine. These retro-fit hydraulic roller camshafts are designed for use in 1955-1998 262-400 cubic inch Small Block Chevrolet engines that were originally equipped with flat tappet camshafts.
