Inside engine cleaning

If you're rebuilding the engine and having a shop do it, they can hot tank
all the parts to look almost like new.  If you're disassembling the engine
yourself and rebuilding yourself, try some of the gunk type engine
degreasers, spray on, scrub with a nylon brush, rinse off, usually works real
well.  If you're not rebuilding the motor, and just have the oil pan off, I'd
just leave as is, no need to disturb that stuff and have it going all through
your motor.  Even though it doesn't look good, its not really doing much
harm.  After you have the motor running, run a bottle of engine flush through
your oil, that usually gets things pretty clean.
