cleaning engine parts

i was wondering what parts of the motor can be hot tanked? rotors? housings? plates? e shaft?

or if they should not be hot tanked at all? then what is the best way to get them nice and clean..
some parts have a lil rust and some of the water jackets have a build up

cheers PaTricK

I was able to do all of my irons, housings, rotors. I used my friend's hot parts washer.

I hot tank will be just fine for cleaning..

We use hot tanks and sand blasters {carefuley} here @ out shop with no problems.. If you use a sand blaster be sure to wash all the parts 3-4 times with clean water to make sure you have all the sand 100% removed...

I should add DO NOT sand blast the engine rotors as you will not get all the sand out of them...
