Stop in for a cup of coffee

Haha yeah, but while it soaks, I’m putting together the engine. Why not let it soak while I’m doing other things? Worst, case it I have to wire wheel it, best case, I rinse it and dry it off. Either way, neat experiment
In my shop, I would simply clean all the grease and dirt off of it in the parts washer, then blast it in my blast cabinet. Maybe 20 minutes, tops....
