so I replaced my TB shaft seals...
Hey Guys,
So on the weekend I took off my TB and replaced the seals. No problems except the old seals where a biatch to get out :|
However I found a ring of gunk around the throttle plate where it closed against inner of the TB.
I cleaned it off pretty easy with carby/TB cleaner and a towel.
I also found a lot of black crap on the backside of the throttle plate (ie the IM side) this too came of REAL easy with the carby cleaner spray.
what the hell is that stuff, it kinda looked like carbon/exhaust soot. The FRONT of the throttle plate was clean as a whistle and my IC pipes are good as well (been running a catch can since about 100 miles )
Any ideas on what the black stuff is and where it came from?
The only thing I can think of is too much MIVEC advance causing exhaust to get back into the intake tract??!?!?!
Cheers
