Carbon Build Up In Manifold

Featured Replies

hi can anyone reccomend a good way to remove the carbon build up in a manifold,mine seems like its welded on.

4th gear, high rev run over rough terrain... The combination between vibration and heat should loosen it up and burn it off!

You can take the pipe off and spray the inside with oven cleaner and let it sit overnight. That will loosen the carbon and make it easier to scrape off. Careful though, it's nasty stuff and you'll want to carefully rinse the pipe before scraping and don't get any in your eyes.
