I tried a scrub brush. It worked but now I have a scrub brush full of gunk and it will not pick anymore up! I'll just keep letting it soak until I am done working today. Maybe by then something will have happened to the gunk in the bottom 1/3rd.
Sorry about the thread hijack!

Aluminium and mineral spirits are compatable. I worked on Alfas for years and they are all aluminium and I have mineral spirits in my parts washer. Although I have heard that biodiesel is an excellent degreaser. When I was a kid, I used to put parts in the dishwasher, especially carburator parts, it would get them spotless.
Maybe try and scrape as much of the gunk off that you can before you start with the brush, so you don't load the brush up as quickly.
