RE: Intake manifold cleaning

Or you could use a bench grinder mounted wire wheel (soft) and a drill
mounted wire wheel (soft).
Worked for me and still looks shiny as new

	Just bring it to your local machine shop and ask them to put it in
their
	solvent tank. One that's made for aluminum parts. It will clean it
inside
	and out. It will look dull when you get it back, but it will be very
clean.
