Looks clean, possible minor corrosion but nothing to lose sleep over.

Clean it with a tooth brush and a little carb cleaner.

That is what is left of the white paint mark. I always just thought they used this for indexing/ballancing.

@ an idle .....spray the fins with WINDEX.......

AT AN IDLE...

that will get em nice and clean... my K&N cries on mine just a little and that does the job... and at an idle it (the windex) will be dried up before it even reaches the intercooler
