Residue... It is dirt/sand with oil mix. I think the PCV fitting was cracked and let in all kinds of crap. Pressure washing did next to nothing. I cant return it...

Silver, were you aware of the poor condition of this intake (including the broken nipple) before you purchased it?
If no, try to return it for a refund.
If yes, I'm sure the nipple can be repaired. I'll second soaking it in a tub of purple maybe with some bleach added.

If I were stuck with this manifold, I'd cut the nipple flush and then (carefully) drill it out then (carefully) thread it for like a 3/8 pipe thread and then (carefully) install a pipe thread to hose nipple adapter. You can buy single pipe thread taps at Home Depot.

It was advertised as "Very clean with nothing broken or cracked"
It came form Kuwait (eBay). I was told it was sent my mistake and they were going to send me another one. Looks like they have sold around 20 of them last month.
I tried pressure washing it. That didn't help much. I will try the simple green and fixing the PCV fitting. Thanks for the idea.

Interesting. Wonder what they're upgrading to?
