Thread: Oil in fmic

    Oil in fmic

    So a couple weeks ago my front turbo froze up and snapped in half. Long story short some oil and I'm not sure how much got sucked up into my fmic, but didn't make it threw the other side. My question is should I just try to blow it out like you would a pressure test, obviously air from clean side out to the oil side. Or should I just take it to a radiator shop and have them clean it like they would a radiator. I hate to spend to much because I could hold off for a bit and just buy a whole cx racing kit.

    A hot dish soapy bath should get most of it out. Rinse thoroughly with hot water and let air dry standing on end.

    Doesn't neccesarily need to be dish soap but, it does need to be a good degreaser. Hot water will help loosen the oil.

    Let it soak in degreaser and then blast it with hot water in reverse.
