I'm getting ready to pull the intake on the coach (I did the parts coach, and it was remarkably clean).

I expect this one to be a mess.

Back in the day, we used to clean the valley in 351W Fords with Kerosene (they would get nasty in Econoline vans which had a propensity to run hot).

Is this an OK practice on the 455 Olds? (Heck, I don't know if it was an OK practice on the Fords, but that's what we did).

I'm worried about that junk getting lose.

Thoughts?

Thanks.
