    Well, keeping my threads separated between intake manifold and EGR cooler. Here is the EGR cooler after two days soaking in OxyClean & Purple Power. MANY times with the pressure washer both through the inlet and outlet sides. Then half a can of Easy-Off oven cleaner.

    I would say I spent 3 minutes per pressure washer routine. Probably did that for a combined time of an hour !

    LOT's of pressure washer cleaning (almost always would be clean and as I rotated around the tube..would then hit an obstruction and then BAM..black and chunks).

    Wednesday i got to put it all back together and then move on to the next project.

    BTW, as I stated in the other thread, I bought a NEW TOYOTA EGR Valve on eBay from Japan for about $150.

    Yeah thought that valve looked super clean. That's maybe a good one-two punch, oxi then pressure washer. Or the other way 'round. (y)
