    Just include some RS2 bits in the box for me and I can get it done here for less.

      Maybe an ultrasonic tank!
      Not sure if that will alter the surface finish but I would think that would be as good as it gets.
      Perhaps Soda blasting would have been a better idea for an inlet.

        I did want to get it soda blasted as of course the soda would dissolve with water but I couldn't find anyone anywhere near me that would be willing to do it.

        I got it cleaned in the end. Filled with petrol and left to soak for 2hrs. Jet washed and refilled again and left to soak. To get what was left of the residue I put a load of body line thinners and that got rid of pritty much all of the residue. I'm happy enough with the manifold so I've given it a good coat of paint.

        Thanks to all of you for all the help and ideas!
