Yeah and I didnt trust that logic which is why I turned to looking at the data sheet. I have heard of using the oven cleaner but with it being lye as well you are still subject to the adverse effects of the chemical. I figured with the drain cleaner I could at least have better and more even coverage with it being a powder (I did not preface this but the oil is on the inside of the manifold, not exterior). I'm not opposed to taking it to a shop to be cleaned but its an hour away. Just looking into ways I can resolve the issue on my end but don't really like the chance I could be taking with all that has been said.
Edit - looking more into it, though, it seems that sodium hydroxide does not react with cast iron. It has the potential to degrade finishes but I'm not too worried about the "finish" of the inside of the runners. I will look more into it but it seems like a decent route to try and report back on with findings
