Title: manifold/throttle assembly off... cleaning and..?
Post by: ///Motorsport on July 18, 2006, 11:50:58 AM

So i have removed my intake manifold in an effort to replace some cooling hoses that were cracked.  To clean any gunk from my throttle body and maybe manifold, can i use B-12 Chemtool carb cleaner?  any other suggestions while im under here for preventative maintenance?

I would say use whatever you want, just avoid getting it on any hoses and gaskets you plan to keep.
