[Shotimes] question #1 of 4 - intake and cylinder head cleaning

[James F. Ryan III]

I've been hard at work every night and weekends bringing my SHO out of its
long hibernation.  Since both lists seem dead as of late, I hope I can get
some good advice.

I removed the intake manifold so I could clean it, the ISC, the TB and the
MAF.  I was very suprised at the condition of the runners and the intake
ports because the engine had a thorough cleaning at 100k (when it had it's
first 60k) and the car now has 118k.

Is this normal?  Will Gumout be able to clean this or should I look for
something stronger like BG products?
