It is carcinogenic so work with plenty of ventilation. The newer green version is highly flammable which worries me more...

Definitely keep it off your paint!
Ok is there any small parts built into the intake manifold I need to be careful of? The EGR and the other valve have been removed as I am replacing them.

Read a post where someone filled a sink up with degreaser and letting it soak for a few hours. But as its plastic I am worried of using anything harsh
