Try some engine degreaser or Super Clean (full strength). Or if you are feeling daring, gas or solvent....just be careful with that stuff.

Definitley use brake/parts cleaner. I had a d16y8 intake mani and it was all gunked up and shitty inside, sprayed the **** out of it with brake cleaner and it looked like new afterwards, just make sure it dry it down good afterwards.
