I was doing dishes and had my air filter off.... thought i would try it lol.
|
just make sure there are no dishes in the washer while you do it! just in case!
|
gentle cycle and no heat/steam dry.
|
STOP NOW!!!
Everyone knows that air filter go in the top rack only. |
Ftw
|
This should be a sticky on honda tech.... it will be a new craze in no time
|
I cleaned a cylinderhead in the dishwasher not too long ago, high temp/steam program. You should be fine.

Lol, it took to long, I just wondered if it would work, and it did, I wont be doing it again. We can get old dishwashers and sell them to honduh ownerzzzz as automatic air filter cleaners.

Must have done it while mom was out of the house. Did you install a modified head or did you have a mechanical failure I wasn't aware of.
It was that 1.6 head I was trying to port/polish/clean up. It's still half-finished tucked away in the shed, waiting for better weather and a test-mule car. |
These work great for cleaning parts,just run it one time afterwords with soap and nothing in it.IMO.

I put my centre console in the dishwasher and it came out like new.
|
I put my turbo compressor in there,and etched the aluminum well enough to take powder coating.

Just don't let any woman see you doing that to their washer, that's the holy grail to them...:-/
|
Lol she didn't... if she woulda done the dishes, it wouldn't have happened.

Thank you Oscar...I just figured out how I'm cleaning mine after I finish the porting and valve lapping.

This is so win for me...my wife is Mexican and doesn't believe in dishwashers. Ours has literally just sat there in the 5 years we have owned the house. I was about to rip it out and build her some shelves there, but will wait until I'm done with motor build. I wonder if I could fit the 1.6L block in there.... |
Pics of cleaned filter...

You mean rip it out and install shelves in the kitchen, THEN install dishwasher in garage, right? Wayyyyyyyy cheaper than buying a jetwash cabinet like most machine shops have.
I was worried about putting the block in there after honing the cylinders and promoting surface rust. |
My wife would kill me if I even touched the dish washer.

Is that what the shops really do when they "hot tank" them?

That's what I thought. We actually have (2) plating lines here at work...and I'd thought about sending mine through the cleaning tank, but I imagine there's enough phosphorous and zinc contamination from the barrel cycles to make it not a good idea.
I wish I had thought to put them in beforehand...would make machining much easier. I didn't want to do a hand clean twice though, so am saving the elbow grease for when I'm done. Filter turned out decent, but I still prefer my actual K&N kit, finally dropped the $13 and don't regret it. |
I have heard of this done before but they put the filter cleaner on before putting it in the dishwasher and it turned out great.
|
Ah carp. I recently sold an extra dishwasher I had, not even realizing something cool could be done with it. I'll bet it works great...
|
Dishwasher airfilter makes me think of
"Interior Crocodile" |
Ha ha it was far cleaner the second time through, some douche pickle at work is paying me 30 bucks to put it on his automatic sunfire.... ECOTECH POWER
