Hello,
Sorry for posting this twice. I originally posted in the Restoration and Repair section, without receiving replies.
I'm relatively new to tractors and hope that someone can provide advice. I purchased a fixer upper Massey Ferguson MF 3165 with the 203 Perkins diesel., and am in the process of getting her going. When I looked at the air filter, it was filthy. The air cleaner and air inlet hose were filthy too. When I felt inside the intake manifold, it was coated with grime. I've removed the manifold to clean it. I'm soaking it in Pine-Sol and will scrub with a brush.
[b:11f5596366]How do I clean the air intake on the cylinder head?[/b:11f5596366] I'm afraid that I'll push some loose gunk into the engine. I'd rather not pull the motor apart any further if I don't have too. But after seeing how dirty everything is, do you think it would be a good idea?
Thanks in advance!
