My intake is covered internally with oily soot and i want to remove it. Thing is, the intake manifold is part of the head so removing it would mean removing the head. I hear you guys talking about seafoam but i'm guessing it is mainly for gasoline engines. With diesel engines ths soot is much heavier and i'm afraid of some larger lumps of soot falling into the engine and causing problems. I believe there is a version of seafoam to go in the oil but i have a sneaking suspicion it won't do much in the intake manifold. The spray may be the one to use.
What do you guys think? Is it safe to use on a diesel engine?
