Acid Dipping Engines

[haygood at myway.com (Brian Haygood)]

Yeah, that is all kinda what I'm trying to avoid.  So far I've been using paint thinner and elbow grease, and that is effective but annoying.  Still doesn't reach the internal parts, too.  Maybe I'll try some lye on small parts and see if I want to move up to an engine block sized doodad.  Thanks all.
