Plenum cleaning

When I removed the air intake by the entrance of the plenum it was caked with deposites.

sea foam works great, people tell me what is the point of cleaning it when it will be caked with deposits again in about a week, do it for your own pleasure

But beware that sea foam will make smoke temporarly come out of your exaust and when I say smoke I mean cloud up your entier neighborhood

If the plenum is off, use oven cleaner, I have had great results with it.

i took mine off, and brough it to the car wash and use high pressure washer.. But the BEST thing for it is some solvent that it can soak in.. Dish soap didn't work to well. its a good time to port it out though..
