So here's all that got clean the last time I tried to clean it without taking off the plate. It's sad really.

And here is what my throttle body looks like now after scrubbing it with deep creep and a scrub pad. As you can see nothing further in is clean which is why I want to try something that will actually dissolve the carbon on its own.

As you can see in the last one at the top left I made a mistake, I didn't want to put the gasket side on the ground so I put that side down instead and well I nicked it. Thank god its not something that needs to be flush, next time I'll always put stuff down on some cloths to avoid that.
One last thing before I go, my repair manual said the torque setting on the bolts is 18 Ft-LBS, so I took my torque wrench but the minimum is 20, but I figured if I did 20 -2 it would be 18. so I was cranking away thinking to myself this was taking allot more than I thought and SNAP! I then had to call around town to find the bolt to replace it. Anyways, for the rest of them I just did snug then 1 half turn, to get it tight.
