i dunno, the part cleaner might take the paint off and it will rust.
you can just use purple tiger or any engine degreaser

Brake parts cleaner is surprisingly effective on a number of things besides just brake parts.

if you want a cleaner intake manifold then use an oil catch tank it hooks up between the valve cover and intake...it catches all the oil blowoff from your valves and keeps it from recycleing through you mani.

oh yeah use B12 carb cleaner it works great and evaporates quickly.
