[Shotimes] Can I just take my intake to the car wash?

[Paul L Fisher]

I finally got around to fixing my 332 CE light today. I pulled it apart per
the FAQ and looked for the two 'nostrils' I didn't see them. After some
furious spraying with Berryman's, I can finally see them. They are both
completely clogged. I pulled the little plugs out of the end and the bottom
of the passageway that leads to the EGR valve and cannot dislodge the crud!
I tried coat hangers, screw drivers and I have made just a small dent in the
blockage.

was the procedure I followed.

Anyhow, can I just cover up the DIS and take the intake to my local
self-serve car wash and blast away? What I'm planning on doing is
alternating Berryman's and steaming hot, soapy water. Any downsides?
