Cylinder head cleaning.
 

I am preparing to replace the camshafts in the SEL in the near future, and I was wondering, if when I have the cams and towers off, can I rinse the valve area with some sort of solvent? catching the majority with a rag and changing the oil before I even crank it for the first time?

I did that very thing last weekend to a 300e. The head was sludged up very badly. (A sadly neglected car).
This weekend I'm changing the engine on that same car.:rolleyes:
This car had underlying problems though (Coolant in crankcase from No 5 cylinder)
