simple green- degreaser spray stuff and load the inside or you can try GUNK too. just wash out with a hose. really would be great if you got a powerwasher on hand

Re: (lsVtec...)

mineral spirits is a cheap (less than $10 a gallon) parts cleaner that is great for oil. flush out all your pipes and especially the IC with it then dry it out and reinstall. kerosene works well too.
