I was still shocked by how much gunk there was in the intake when I removed the EGR and fitted the blanking kit. Man that stuff is really like thick tar. I didnt dare try to clean it off from within the intake manifold but I reckon it was 4 or 5 mm thick. That cannot be good for a whole bunch of things, not to mention performance. When I fitted the blanks and started the engine I sprayed some leak finder around the exhaust blank and there was some minor leakage I'm hoping that will be ok and might diminish with heat/time?

I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food
A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

just soapy water I think here's a pic:

Pull the sensor out of the inlet manifold and check out the amount of grease on that!
Sounds like the wrong oil has been used for some time.
I took my manifold off and cleaned it out when i found the same thing on my engine, but it was about 3mm thick. I also scraped out the inlet ports in the head with a plastic spoon type tool thats a lot like a butter scraper.
I think it made a difference to the performance and fuel economy.

Soapy water is a leak finders friend, just ask any gas mechanic, plumber or refrigeration mechanic.
Make your own with an atomiser bottle and some dishwashing liquid....cheaper that paying for a pressure pack of it.
