Thread: cleaning intake help?

From reading your post I take it your opposition to bead blasting is that it dulls the look somewhat. It does, but IMO not too far from the look of a brand new manifold out of the box. I just toss mine in the blast cabinet and in a few minutes you have a pretty new looking manifold with the added advantage of clean gasket surfaces and underside.

Both the manifolds below on the sbf and olds engines are over 20 years old and have been blasted a few times during their life.
