Got an early start. Got home from work at 3:30 and called it quits at 5:00. Too bloody hot!
Anyway. A start.

Pic of all the crud in the intake pipe just after the exhaust gas entrance.
Carbon and oil caked to intake pipe leading to manifold.
Hell knows what the manifold is going to look like..Previously an NP GLX 3.8 auto RIP

Here is a pic of my inlet manifold after @ 240 k's. Number 1 was completely block and full of crud.
Have you fitted a oil catch can yet?Cheers,
Paul

wow guys, i am no deisel expert but that looks bad. why does it occur ? is it fuel related such as normal or premium fuels used ? can you use some type of deisel upper engine cleaner to keep this manifold clean , rather than take it off ?NS 3.2 Diesel, Polor White , Black CSA Rims, HanKook Dynapro AT Tyres, 3 inch custom stainless steel exhaust with free flow Cat & Muffler, 50mm Lift, Old Man Emu Shocks and Springs, TJM Bullbar powder coated White, Custom 7mm Sump Guard & Transmission Guard, 8 inch LED Spotties plus 20 inch LED Light Bar, rear Reverse LED Light, ARB Roof Cage , Tiger11 Awning.Comment

A combination of carbon and oil. Sticks to the intake manifold..Previously an NP GLX 3.8 auto RIP

Now to clean the thing. This goo is tough stuff!!
3 days to clean it and get her back together. Took about 3 hours to remove so will probably take a day to clean and bolt it back up..Previously an NP GLX 3.8 auto RIP

Gosh you love pulling things apart - I bet you were one of those little boys who dismantled all his toys - weren't you?
Actually your photos make me think I should pull my manifold off but I'm going to have to get in the mood to do that one. Have done quite a few mechanical jobs lately and still have a few more to do. Will have to put this one on the "To Do" list.
Repco sell a degreasing agent that is based on Lye - it is about $20 for a 5lt. bottle and should be a good help with what you are dealing with there - you could soak the manifold in it.

Got me in one. I was that kid. But at least this time I'm pulling something apart for a reason.Originally posted by GHendo View Post

I hope Goodsy will forgive me for hijacking his thread, but what's with the butterfly valves in the manifold?
I know they do stuff like this in petrol manifolds, but I hadn't even heard of it in a diesel. What's that about?

Goodsy, while you have got it all apart would you consider changing the
SCV valve on the injector pump as you now have easy access?
Also, are you going to relocate the Map sensor pickup higher in the manifold similar to the NT and later Paj's.
Cheers Andrew.2019 MR Triton bog stock at the moment but that will change.Comment

The valves are swirl control valves. They work by increasing air speed across the valve intake supposedly increasing combustion efficiently.Originally posted by nj swb View PostI hope Goodsy will forgive me for hijacking his thread, but what's with the butterfly valves in the manifold?

Mine is disconnected as I see the valves as an air intake restriction.
Andrew. I will be replacing the SCV as well. I've had an offer I cannot refuse.
