As long as there is no plastic about, I use Nitromors
Try to look innocent and blame some one else if possible
Unfortunately im the only eejit daft enough, in our house,to want to put an oily inlet manifold in the dishwasher
Would nitromors not harm aluminium?
Nitro won't harm ally, and oven cleaner won't hardly touch it, the foamy aerosol type. Just the lightest of whiteness here and there if anything. Have used it before, and slung inlets in the dishwasher when she's not looking. Done a gearbox with oven cleaner before. Just don't leave it on for days.
Best stuff is the ammonia-based gel, very fierce and not caustic, but bloody expensive vs a squirty can (especially if theres one already in the kitchen...).

It's not acid, as above it's the same as most paintstrippers, something volatile in glop designed to help it stay put. Hence covering with clingfilm can help, stops the good stuff disappearing so quick.
Sometimes its worth searching an MSDS, might show detail of what's in it.

Well in the end up i soaked it in diesel for a week, aggitating it each night in the diesel, then just power hosed it out. That got rid of a lot of the crap, it blew a chunk of diesel, soot,oil, greae gloop out of the manifold about the size of a golf ball!!!
Then i used some engine cleaner sprayed into it to get a bit more of the baked on stuff. Seemed to work ok, a lot better than it was all be it not spotless.
Thanks for all the advice chaps, had i had more time i would have tried it but i needed it back on the car this weekend.

The car the inlet came off was my uncles 406 dturbo with egr, with 190k on it so it definitely needed it!
I cant help wondering are the egr sytems actually doing any good (for the enviro) after loads of miles. It certainly cant be an efficient design for an engine to have a gunked up inlet manifold with maybe only 60% flow after a few years. Probably has a negative effect, and seems a short sighted solution by car manufs?
