Nothing too special really. Write down how many turns of the a/f screws in your manual for reference. I like soaking the hard parts in my parts cleaner before scrubbing and then just scrub them down. Inspect all rubber boots and gaskets when reinstalling the rack. Then I throw on my sync gauges to verify I did not screw that up.
