...So ventured further towards the combustion process & took off the inlet manifold... Absolutely awful! Could pull carbon out on my finger... Pics attached. While you're at it with the throttle body I'd suggest whipping the manifold off & soaking it in brake cleaner as well...
When you took the inlet off did you remove the whole rocker cover too or is it possible to just take the manifold off?

Also has anyone else had the odd cough from the engine since cleaning the TB?
