Just how big are these pipe cleaners you use? like to see the size of the pipe you are smoking, holy moly.

a few years ago I took my intake to work thinking I would use the steam cleaner. good thing I had my rain gear on, I had black crap all over me that blew out of the holes. It got most of it out, I got the rest.

Yesterday I got a manifold off a 78 300SD W116. no EGR on that year. the intake was almost spotless. soon as I clean these up and get around to it, these are going on my 85.

I have another one, maybe I`ll pour some gas into it and light it off & see what happens.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
