While the heads off I set about cleaning the inlet, alongside the gunky tar like ****e stuck inside there was a massive clump of the same tar like substance rolling around inside.

How much crap is supposed to come out of a 150k mile inlet? Dont think its been cleaned before

What's the best way to clean these things out properly, James?
I seem to remember Mr. Noisy mentioning something about getting them in a hot tank?

i use my steam cleaner ,but you could soak it in petrol or paraffin and use a good bottle brush
