Could try taking it to a local engineering shop and try thier parts washer or acid dip.
Take it during lunch time when the boss is out and cash is ready :)
If it is that bad I have a spare manifold...........

Hi
have tried jif on the manifold...does not touch it.
now have tried gunk, meths, acetone, panel wipe, alloy wheel
cleaner, water!, ajax powder, abrasive pad for pans.
beginning to think that it is all corrosion, but black deposits.
any more ideas??. do i need to bead blast and paint (but does not
paint have difficulty adhereing to this metal?.
and was a bit worried about bead blasting as if beads get inside
they may get lodged somewhere but come out in use...into the engine.
i want to get it back on Friday so any advice would be very
appreciated.
i gather o rings seat well in dialectric grease?.
