Default 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!

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
