Re: How do you clean the Carbon out of the Intake Manifold Gallery?

Hey, how about this:
Take a small mini-torch to a pile of this carbon that you've scraped out. If I'm not mistaken, it will ignite. So why not stick one of these mini-torches into the passage and just let it burn out the carbon? Soot in Diesel particulate filters ignites at 600 or 650 centigrade. I don't think this soot is much different; mainly C with some H mixed in...
