What would be a good solvent to clean oil out of a LS1 intake? Its off the engine, and dripping with oil. Would brake cleaner be too harsh?

Anyone done this? Seafoam is not an options as the intake it off the engine.

For better or worse, I used carb cleaner in all my LS6 intake runners and sprayed a bunch in the throat as well. Then I washed it out with water and dried it with compressed air. I used a brass brush on the runners to try to get the caked on residue off. Mixed results there.

I removed all the sensors beforehand, though.

Thanks for the reply, looks like I will be trying your method. My intake does not have any sensors in it right now, so that wont be an issue.
