Having tried kerosene on mine, the "oil-eater" stuff I used worked WAY better and with less work. A 5-gallon pail is ~$50 shipped on Amazon and stretches a LONG way. I mixed 4:1 water:degreaser and just left the parts I wanted cleaned in there. All that sludgy crap in the manifold just literally wiped out like pudding.
It worked so well for my car that we use it to clean PCB assemblies at work now in a 20:1 solution. It's cheaper and far more effective than the actual stuff you're supposed to use and a vat of the solution will work for ~6 months before it saturates.
Unlike the purple stuff, it won't turn aluminum black either.
