I thought the rule of thumb was that NA's like clean intake. plumbing, while those with blowers do not care so much. That being said, the NA OM606 plumbing has some resonance tuning flaps which appreciate being clean

On Gump, which Marshall was quick to point out belongs to another set of rules, the cleaning of the intake did make her drive a bit better. I used brake cleaner while the intake was still on. I plan to remove and replace the current intake with one I have thoroughly cleaned when the head work is done

To preserve my sanity I'm going to think I've restored 15hp by cleaning this mess!

Later - now, to rest - then look for the bolt.

I second that recommendation. I've tried cleaning it myself, it quickly
turned into a really messy nasty job.  If you want it clean, pay a
professional. Marshall always used to say that cleaning them would make
NO difference in performance.

Take the intake to your local engine machine shop and let them clean it.
It seems that every drop of splatter will stain forever, its nasty
stuff.  BTDT

Thanks

*Now for my next question:* Has anyone found a good way to clean the
intake  plenum?  .

Thx!
