Offy DP cleaning

Has anyone tried to clean the inside of a Offy DP intake? What did you use and how well did it work? I have access to a glass bead cabnet to clean the outside but didn't figure it would work well on the inside.

You might try soaking it in "Castrol super clean"

I cleaned an intake once with it, Id use a small amount of product when you mix it with water, too much and as I recall the aluminum turns white but cleans up find after that with soapy water. Just follow the directions. One things for certain, the super clean works very well. I soaked a pair of used heads in it once, took little effort with a brush to remove the carbon build up in the exhaust ports and chamber, you wont have that much trouble with your intake. Its also biodegradeable.

Let me know how that works for you.


Now that I think about it, it may have been another product that turned the intake white. As I used the super clean alot cleaning the engine bay, I do remember that much...haha...which included an aluminum intake.
