Heeding Warnings

Today I find myself at the bottom of the dis-assembly process and hereafter beings the journey toward a clean, brand new engine ready to maniacally head down [hopefully] a good 100k miles of blacktop.  After reading about 400 times to clean clean clean, then clean a little more, I first completely cleaned my work bench.  Then I spent 5 hours scouring my case halves.

After crossing off soaking for 24 hrs in Dawn, Purple Power (good but not pretty to Alum.), and even the Dishwasher debacle I have found magic in 100% Mineral Spirits and Carb cleaner.  The EPA may not be thrilled but I don't plan to do this again for a long long time.
