I have a solution for ya (did the same thing on my intake pipes).

I used some solvent and a large L-bent bristle brush found at your local Homebrew shop. Let the solvent set for a minute and then simple run the brush through a couple of times. Worked great for me.

Dear List,

I'm doing an engine replacement on my '86 Vanagon. The intake manifold pipes (the four "spider legs") have a LOT of carbon in them. Most is in the bend (center of pipes) where it's hard to get at.

Any tips on getting this stuff out, short of a couple of hours with a little wire brush?

TIA,

Steve
