Spare Engine: Q-tips and WD40

Made big progress on cleaning the spare crankcase.  Hit it with a combination of Q-tips, sponge-on-a-stick thingies, shop towels and more WD40.  But it's coming along quite nicely.  The interior looks very good, if I do say so myself.


These things from the paint store worked pretty well, but they don't hold up to much abuse.

This is what I was dealing with.

Starting to come clean.  You can see the same drain plug area in the bottom left of the photo below.

Here's what you end up with.
