I have yesterday started to clean four manifolds, these will be available at our last nano meet, there must lots of owners running around with clogged up manifolds stopping the engine from breathing proper.
All have differing amounts of gunk in them some that just trickles out when scrapped off the internal ports,

A lot of owner add bypass
EGR thinking that will help, but in fact all it is doing is hiding the trouble in the manifold that as already occurred, and needs dealing with for the engine to breath properly.

It took me 5 hours to scrape out all the gunk from these manifolds, even then there is still quite a bit that is hard to reach which the oven cleaner soaking over night will loosen, ready for the jet washing of the manifolds.
Some of the tools i use and always wear thick rubber gloves this muck get everywhere, it will ruin your clothes if you get it on them.
