Cleaning inlet manifold after paint stripping....
Can I put it in the dishwasher?
I've seen people do this on various parts and get sweet results, can it be done with a bare inlet manifold? Or will it possibly damage it?
I just want to get it as clean as poss
Thanks!

cant see it damaging the manifold it a big lump of cast metal.
not sure it will do the dishwashe much good though.

Lol, I'm gonna have a go today! Missus thinks I'm nuts, but we'll see who is nuts when the dishwasher has finished!
EDIT: unless obviously it breaks half way through

Have you done this yet? I'm sure I read somewhere that you aren't supposed to put ally things in the dishwasher as the dishwaher powder/tablets can turn them black
