Hey, does anyone know if there is a chemical that can remove carbon and old grease from engine internal parts (disassembled)? How are these usually cleaned?
paint thinner (mineral spirits) and a parts brush. Probably some of it won't come off, you can scrape that off carefully with something else, like a razor blade.
brake parts cleaner works great. for the carbon build up in the ring lands i always break and old ring in half and use that to scrape the carbon out with
