I am actually very impressed with it upon further inspection, which makes me think the ONLY thing it will need is a good cleaning and maybe a hot tanking just to clean it up. Which leads me to my question.

I've been doing research recently about cleaning this and actually taking it apart and come across a few things.

1) I've read that to remove the pistons you need to push them through the top of the engine block. Now my question is can the bottom section of the block be separated from the top portion without taking everything with it right? It's essentially just a cover? I guess I'm a little confused at how you actually access the pistons.

2) I just wanted to get opinions on how to actually clean engine internals. I have heard you can use hot, soapy water, hot tanking, number of things but I was wondering what you guys do.
