I remember reading somewhere that if you use anything other than Hot Soapy water it will go into the sheeves and come out while riding.

Compressed air first, as long as black dust comes out, then Scotch Brite pad medium or heavy.

I did that one time with my Bronco's air intake plenum. Couldn't get in to it real well to clean it, so in the dishwasher it went. Then came the truth behind the old saying " Easier to ask for forgiveness than permission".

Did a nice job on the plenum but took forever to get the black color and smell out of that thing.
