Hi everyone
just thought I give a update fill in on the 06 patrol we bought with 255k and no mods I expected the motor might not be as good as it is but it seems to have done mostly highway work but on the weekend i pulled the intake manifold off and cleaned the black crap out of it and the inlet ports. Nowhere near as bad as I expected after seeing some of the photos on here showing badly clogged intake manifolds. There was about 5mm thick gunk just inside of where the egr goes in and the rest was maybe 2mm thick, but its all clean now and i made up an egr blanking plate and fitted at the same time and fitted a snorkel last week next is the intercooler upgrade then exhaust ect but it's coming along ok and I am happy to say the engine condition is pretty good so it won't need a rebuild as soon as I thought it might
I keep you updated on progess
cheers
