Anyone have a good recipe to clean out the carbon (soot) and tar deposits on an aluminum intake? I have a 2 piece Ford upper/lower, and the screwdriver method wont work. The holes are too deep and curve too much. The intake runners arent too bad but the EGR ports are pretty gummy and sooted. I have flexible engine brushes, you provide the chemistry!
I looked at carb and intake cleaner MSDS, its mostly xylene and acetone. I think we have some xylene at work but it seems pretty nasty.
PS Aluminum cant be hot tanked, unfortunately, otherwise I'd be done by now.
