Carbon Buildup

Recently had the "opportunity" to remove my intake manifold. If anyone is interested this is my carbon buildup at 63k miles. Sorry for the poor lighting. I'm not an expert but I'd say it looks pretty good.

You really think it needs it? Car seems to be running and well and I'd rather not have to rent/buy the equipment to walnut blast and take it all apart again.

Agree with Wolf, there is very little buildup there. I wouldn't bother.

dont bother..it looks good. N55 does not have much of a problem. The squeeky clean valves u see from the other user will not look like that within 100 mi of driving..
