    Wow! That Aluminum Brite stuff Really works! It’s so satisfying to see the parts go from grungy to shiny! Great how to, Chris.

  • @dukeman7595
    @dukeman7595 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Wow what a difference. I'm going to try this on mine, however, with the engine intact, as long as one is careful and covers certain electronics and connectors I see no harm.

    Short and sweet, but a nice surprise ending. Have a good holiday Chris! Lookin forward to seeing the whole top end come together.

    Oh forgot to mention. Got to sit in and check out a C8 the other day. Had to buy my wife a new car after some teenager turned left in front of her. So at the dealer the just got one in that an older gentleman had order. Sadly the old guy never got to see his car as he passed away while waiting on the list. The guys son is getting the car. Has a little plaque that the car was built specifically for the old guy. Just kinda cool.

      That’s sad. Glad the son is getting it at least.

    Aluminum bright is great but you have to use detergent to neutralize the brighter or in 6mounths you start seeing a aluminum powder .

    Great video! I have a 1987 Trans Am GTA with the 5.7TPI that needs a little love.
    Is it really necessary to take all these parts off the engine for a cleanup?

  • @fadelykevin
    @fadelykevin 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    If you need to clean but don’t want to remove the intake could you use the brightener on the parts and thoroughly rinse?

  • @williamhill386

    chris, would suggest to clean iac valve while you have off cleaning intake .

    I noticed you brushed the TB but not the Plenum and Runners. Were you worried the brush would do something to the finish? Would you ever consider Scotch Brite for this job as an alternative? I need to do mine this Spring and thinking of cleaning it in place on the car.

    Thanks for the video...I've got a C4 with an L98 and I'd like to clean my intake runners and plenum too. Does the aluminum brightener etch the aluminum?

    • @mycorvettelife
      @mycorvettelife  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      To an extent. Don’t use it on any polished parts.

    Hey Chris, What year and what did the TPI intake come off of? There are differences between years and cars. Thanks

    • @mycorvettelife
      @mycorvettelife  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I don’t know exactly but it’s the same as mine. It has the sensor on the bottom. And the vacuum ports on the back.

    Beautiful intake! Hey Chriss sorry to ask you this, specially on a C4 video. Do you sell the C5 seat motors?
    Last night I was watching your C5 video seat installation and saw that your seat motors are in very good condition, thats why am asking.

    • @mycorvettelife
      @mycorvettelife  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I still have the driver side seat motor. Send me an email if you are interested.

  • @chriskeller6733
    @chriskeller6733 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    how long do you let the brightener solution soak on the parts before rinsing?

    How come you didn't put a bottom intake gasket on?

    • @mycorvettelife
      @mycorvettelife  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I didn’t remove the lower intake. And based on the condition of the other gaskets, they look fairly new.

    Now replace the iac, tps, and mat sensor that you just ruined by spraying them with water and chemicals.

    Never use Aluminum Brightener, you will darken & ruin your parts!!!!

      @mycorvettelife  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not true. I’ve been using it for a long time.
