Out of shear laziness, and a fear of getting my hands dirty, I've used a tank large enough to hold the motor parts and filled it with Chem Dip and covered it. I then placed the whole tub onto one of those vibrating foot baths that used to be so popular....For years you could buy 'em at a yard sale for less than $5! I turned the unit on low, and let it "Ultrasonically" clean my motor parts overnight on the patio--far enough away from the house so as not to disturb anyone. Worked like a charm! Stinky for days, though!
Gets off even the most caked on grease! Probably went through a dozen or so Foot baths doing this, but I swear by it! Great for individual parts or a spring in the barrel with the lid off, or gear boxes. Seal Chem Dip when finished so it doesn't evaporate.
Lazy? Maybe. Clever? Yes!

Ah, my kind of guy. I knew it could be done, just didn't know how. Thanks Stephen.
