Repeated until cleaned putting oxy in both ends as you go. Took me about four sessions. I didn't let sit in oxy overnight though as I worried about etching the aluminum. We threw in our headers too and they came out pretty clean too. Just make sure to use a heat gun and dry everything thoroughly so you don't get rust.
