There is a commercial product that comes in a 1-gallon bucket called
Berryman' B9 Chemdip (or something remarkably similar in name).

It is basically carbolic acid, in a bucket, with a little parts sieve.
Costs about $8 for a pail. 20 minutes of soaking in this, and motor parts
come out looking (and smelling) like brand new. Use it for all your small
hardware, EGR valve, etc.  Cleans even dried-on Wheatena.

Cheers,

Subject:        What to clean engine parts with?

What should I clean my engine parts with? My rocker arms are black and one
is cacked with carbon buildup. Is it OK to use normal engine degreaser and
a
toothbrush or should I use something else?
