So the manifold came up ok with some Autosol and a drill attachment...not mirror but certainly better . I have no laptop at the minute so can't post pics. (hard to take pics of it actually)

The shit is really caked on the decat. Can't seem to shift it and was afraid to get ninja on it's ass in case I did damage. I tried parafin to remove it but I may has well not as it didn't budge anything. Also tried a quick go of 0000 grade steel wool with no effect.

I've read over this thread again and while I was thinking carb cleaner maybe or petrol :surprised::hehe!: I see Curran has suggested to de tar. Halfords special or?

Any help greatly received
