got some Formula 88, and a container to place my intake manifolds in, I want to get rid of all the oil inside my intakes, I read somewhere someone used Formula 88 and worked well, don't remember if they used 50/50 Formula 88/water in the container or just filled the container with straight 88 with the manifold in and let it sit overnight. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I would pick up a pick up a long pipe cleaner to scrub the tunnels with too. I bought one from home depot that worked great, had about a 16 inch section that had bristles. for the chemicals, I would dilute it somewhat.

It might have been me that you're talking about. I submerged my intake in Formula 88 to clean it. I also used a flexible toilet bowl brush to clean the runners.
I used 2 gallons of F-88 and the rest water....but just enough water to cover completely submerge and fill the intake. I made sure I rolled the intake around a bunch to get all the air bubbles out. I left it over night.
Spotless when it came out. Then I filled a cooler full of water to submerge it in and roll it around to fill it. I did that several times, kept dunking it and pulling it out till the water ran out of the intake clear.
