    Cleaning inlet manifold

    Whilst i have the engine out though i would clean up my inletmanifold.

    Have whipped it off and its filthy on the inside.

    What is the best way to clean it? have started the outside with AG engine cleaner but even with my little girly arms i cant clean all the way inside.

    I have heard that paint brush cleaner from somewhere like B & Q will dot it, not white spirit i hasten to add, its actually called paint brush cleaner

    fuel is what i use to clean stuff like that cheaper than
    carb cleaner as well

    for a decent clean , you need to get all the sensors etc
    out and find some long brushes , get through the inlet hole
    as well as the ports ,job done .
