I thought I'd share what I found inside of a used intake manifold I purchased recently. Whether it be some SERIOUSLY bad valve seals, a filthy air filter, or a combination of the two, this thing had a lot of carbon buildup and sludge present. I sprayed some Purple Power degreaser and let it sit for a bit and pressure washed it at a spot near my house. Turned out great!! Next time you run into some cash to modify your car, think about the attached photo and consider the basics first.

 

Thanks for the advice!

 

I found the same thing when I took the throttle body off a manifold looked like its never ever been removed I didn't bother to clean the manifold since I only needed the throttle body

 

I have what they call automotive ocd. Symptoms include rebuilding/reconditioning every nut and bolt on a car because of a blown head gasket. Lmao

 

LA'S Totally Awesome cleaner from Dollar General is the best degreaser I've ever seen. And only costs $1.

I'll give it a shot if I see it. I used to swear by Simple Green, but this Purple power stuff blew my socks off lol
