More Progress...Intake

Use the acetone without fear, Bryan, it is NOT corrosive to metals in any way.  We used to use it to clean parts at work (aluminum, titanium, nickels, stainless steels, copper, etc.) and still would be using it if the California/EPA hadn't clamped down on its use. (for its effect on humans)

Carb cleaner would also work.

  Hey folks,

  Decided it was time to do the head gasket in the 1.7.  I got the head out 
  and the manifolds off, even managed not to break any studs....anyway.  I 
  ported out my intake to match a 5000 tb.   When i looked in, it was filthy, 
  all dirty and everything.  I'm assuming i got some oil in there, i'm not 
  positive though, it's dry, but it's got some shavings stuck to it.  I'll 
  have a pic to go with this later on, but anyway... There is no way i'm going 
  to put it back on like this, what can I use to clean the inside?  I've heard 
  acetone, but i'm not exactly pumped, as i hear it's EXTREMELY corrosive.

  Any ideas?  Thanks

  Bryan
