cylinder intake cleaning
I'm replacing the intake manifold but while doing that I noticed the fuel intake ports were building up with carbon. It's not all that much since the truck only has 72,000 miles on it. But since the intake manifold is off at the moment I thought I might as well clean the intake ports as well. I've watched several videos on YouTube but all of them require that both valves be closed so as not to get debris in the cylinders. Doing this requires much more work than I had planned. So I am wondering if I should tackle this or just leave it alone?
The only idea I've come up with is to use small plastic tubing, an air compressor and a wet/dry vac. In my head it seems like a good idea but I am hoping someone will poke holes in it! I don't want to try it then find myself dealing with even bigger problems.
