I just started stripping my 304 so I can send the block off to be cleaned and I have noticed that the intake runners on the banana have carboned up quite a bit. The carbon seems to get heavier as I get towards that back end of the manifold does anyone know what might cause this?
The combustion process. It's quite normal. You can clean it, but it will always carbon up again.
Yea I was expecting to see a bit in there but I wasn't expecting to see this variation in the amount of carbon. Like I said it gets progressively heavier towards the back of the manifold
