You really need to use some kind of heavy-duty carb or cold-parts solution. I soaked mine in the cold parts solution overnight and it worked great. I don't think the green stuff will clean the carbon completely off. When it comes to cleaning the apex grooves, oil control ring slots and corner seal pockets, canned carb cleaner is the best.

If you still have the apex seals in the rotors you can tell which is which. The corner pieces (little triangle jobber) always face the rear of the engine. So, if the corner piece is facing the open side of the rotor that is the front rotor. If it is facing the gear side, that is the rear rotor.
