Best way to clean knooks and crannies in the engine

[GrahamS]

Currently I'm painting the inlet manifold and found a load of dried on oil underneath on the rocket cover. where someone has clearly missed the oil filler.

I've wire brushed it and used autoglym de-greaser which got the large areas coming up well but am having a problem getting into the tighter areas. I don't want to use any water as it'll go straight down the plug 'ole.

Would be great if there were any ideas floating about to clean these bits before I put on a nice manifold and the underside look like death.

cotton buds, small stiff brush. maybe a scouring pad, ( green )

A decent degreaser and brushes. Look into G101 and Envy Brushes.
