Anyone out there cleaned the intake ports in the head when cleaning the manifold?
I plan on cleaning my intake myself. Not in a hurry 'cause I'm only at 64K but after seeing the videos I realize it is important to get the CCV filter in and lower the EGR as soon as possible. Although it is relatively straightforward to cleaning the intake it is another matter cleaning the intake ports on the head. Looks as though rotating the engine crank to close the intake valve and scraping and blowing out with compressed air is the way to go. Do this four times with the other ports covered with duct tape. I would like to use a little Kerosene to get them squeeky but fear that the valves do not seal completely and too much would get into the cylinder...
