Newb question about Intake Valve cleaning

NSFW 335i · 10-10-2012, 05:33 PM

Hello,

I have a newb question about this.

Is it possible to remove the whole intake valve unit, clean it, then put it back in? Or is this piece not removable?

Thanks in advance.

Do you mean the throttle valve? It is removable

The head can be removed, but then you need cam tools and so much more. its easier to service on the car but yes you can do it if you are so inclined.
