Carlos;
        I am currently using Simple Green and Elbow Grease. About a one
to twenty ratio. I have amassed a collection of different size brushes
and drill attachments also. The small parts can be boiled. I used a
coffee can on a Coleman stove. The pushrod tubes came out like new! I
used an extra large bottle brush to clean their insides. Small bottle
brushes attached to a drill worked great on the oil galleries. I have a
small,junk, counter top toaster/oven to dry ferrous parts to prevent
rust.

Drive Safely & Good Luck
