Comments: To: cdelrio@CONCENTRIC.NET

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.
