The IC isn't too dirty...might as well clean it since you're already there.

 

[2003fordsvt]

there is 10k miles on it how hard is it to clean do i have to pull the whole thing out

 

[svtred]

not hard to get the IC out now. u see the 4 bolts behind the 2 hoses that go into the intercooler? remove those and the 2 hoses and that whole assembly comes out

No.

thanx for the info ron

 

[Thunder Bolt]

No prob. Be sure not to set the IC on the ground when you pull it out.
You'll stand the chance of bending the fins.

[Thunder Bolt]

Be sure to install an oil separator if you got the extra dough. The L&S seems to be a
good unit.

Let me know if you need the torque value. I think I should be able to dig it up.

Dont bother w/ the chilton. I bought one and it sucked. Took it back too.

 

[Cichlids]

Cool. Here's the torque sequence for reinstall.

how can you torque he intercooler bolts if you torque the blower bolts down first wouldn't you torque down the intercooler bolts first.

Or am I not understanding that diagram. :read:

Think about it...the blower bolts actually secure the IC. 9 through 12 secures the rear portion only.
