Intake manifold

Something I've notice with everybody's intake manifold on this forum. It's so clean!!! Mine's all dirty and the aluminum coating is coming off in sheets. How can I fix this? If it requires removing the intake, how do I do that? I tried once but I was missing a bolt somewhere...

You forgot the infamous center bolt which is a star drive I recall. Someone had a photo of it here....

Should be a T40. It is a real treat to snake a socket down to that bolt on a 1/4" drive with a long extension.
