More Progress...Intake

[mardak at cogeco.ca (Mark)]

No solvent will clean it well (trust me, I tried pretty much
EVERYTHING).  My suggestion: bring it to a machine shop to
bead/sandblast...  I did this with mine, and it turned out mint.  The
shop should only charge $15-$20 tops...  Get them to do the outside as
well, paint it up, and you have yourself a next to new intake
manifold...

Mark.
