Yeah, sent him another pm. Checking if anyone else does. I really only need to rent the tools or pay someone to do the cleaning part only as I'm already taking the manifolds off on both my cars

Not bad, just takes a lot of scrubbing and about 3 cans of cleaner

That's pretty impressive - do you mind explaining what is carb cleaner ? and what did you use from the gun kit, i know there are metal brushes even.

Did you notice any difference driving ?
