Cleaning Carbon Build-Up
I have my intake off for the dreaded Oil Pressure Sensor swap. I noticed alot of carbon build up on the intake and heads.
What is the best way to clean this? What product works best?
Thanks in advance.

You mean carbon on the back of the intake valves?

I have the Intake off while I am changing the Oil Pressure Sensor so I am planing on cleaning the TB while I have it off. I also noticed carbon build-up on the ports on the bottom side of the Intake and on the intake at the heads. What is the best way to get that off prior to putting everything back together? Any hints and advice welcomed.
Thanks for the above info.

OK, my plan is to use seafoam. Can I just put it on a rag and wipe it down than brush it off? Also my plan is to stuff rags in the heads and clean the build up. Any comments welcomed.
