Is there some kind of liquid chemical I can soak them in, or do I have to find a super thin wire brush to get in there? What have you guys done?

be careful around the spark plugs and the exhaust port, the casting is thin there

i used a wire brush and machine oil ... then clean it with a good organic solvent



(save the Bacardi for when you're trying to massage the cramps out your hands )
