Dear List,

I'm doing an engine replacement on my '86 Vanagon.  
The intake manifold pipes (the four "spider legs") have a 
LOT of carbon in them.  Most is in the bend (center of 
pipes) where it's hard to get at.  

Any tips on getting this stuff out, short of a couple
of hours with a little wire brush?

TIA,

Steve
