acetone, shellite or isopropyl alcohol is very very good for that sort of stuff if you can get your hands on any. I find petrol tends to leave a residue.

are any of those harmful to the engine or combustion?

You gotta take all of the pipes out and core and flush em with somthing like acetone, something that doesnt have an oil content in it. Acetone will turn into vapor in like a couple of seconds so it leaves no residue and no oil.

Yeah id use shellite. Im a cleaning nut..even I wouldnt really bother doing it unless you gotta take it apart...If your engine is healthy there shouldnt be anything in there. I guess over time a little oil residue may build up. I can only really see a point in flushing the core as its the only part that will create enough resistance for residue to build up...

nope they all go bang when you put a match to them :sick:. As said above Iso or acetone/acetate are the best things leave no residue at all so no worries :(

I just read in the latest hot 4s tech handbook that you should just use degreaser and rinse well. I have just done this but haven't driven it yet. Hope this will be ok?

    • The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!
    • I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...
    • Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.
    • I hate it, but maybe he could paint it Monster jam style and call it...godzilla?
    • Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
