Maybe for cleaning carbonizing in heads also. Any tips?

One that does come to mind is GM Top Engine Cleaner, which I think a version still exists. I think oven cleaner does a good job on intakes. Just be careful using it. Don't let it set too long or it could etch the material. Maybe try on a couple small spots. Bead blasting works too. Last edited by gzig5; 05/31/19 02:33 PM.
