A pressure washer down inside the manifoled can dislodge a fair bit of the congealed oil but probably some sort of solvent if you want it all out.

I used to just use car shampoo and a sponge to get the majority of the crap off, but it was a bit messy when i first got the car so i used autosol and a wire wheel to get it nice and clean, then kept on top of it with the car shampoo every time i washed the car after that. Took a fair while to clean the first time but it came up nice and still looks presentable to this day.

Does the inlet manifold gunk up over time, in your experiences?

What else in the inlet system can benefit from a clean after 100k miles?

Cheers.

Throttle body housing and intake pipework if your cleaning the manifold change your filter or clean it depending on what youve got on it make it shiny
