nvm on this topic i figured out a great solution to this prob.....for those of you in the same situation, take a .22 rifle cleaning kit for the tight spaces between the sleeves and for the angled areas i found a 12 gauge kit works great but be careful not to scratch the cylinder head mating surface or accidentaly scrath the cylinder bore...............

hmm CLR didnt think of that... do you think that it would work better than the gun cleaning kit or would it be best to use both thx for the info......
