NOt much will work there, if you want to clean the engine buy a gallon can of Berrymans carb cleaner, it has a dip tray and work great.
You can also use antifreeze in a crock pot and that will also clean the parts of your engine

By the way Ultrasonic cleaners are  really the best way I have ever found to clean drafting pens such as the RapidOgarphs or any technical drawing pen that you use India inks in
Use it with a solution of Simple green, best way I have ever found to clean things like pens

What is the cleaning agent in antifreeze ?

Rapidograph pens can also be ultrasonic cleaned using Windex. This was recommened to me by a drafting supply business.

Yep did that, except simple green works about 50 times better and faster  :-)

Just cleaned a few engines tody using something I read about in an FM a few years ago.  Dawn Power Disolver.  Spray it on, let set 4 or 5 minutes, and brushed it off with an old toothbrush and soapy water.  Cleaned off 20_ year old Castor based crud and dirt.
At work, we always filled the US cleaner with water, then put the items or circuit boards to be cleaned in a separate container with usually Isopropyl Alcohol.  The cleaner's manual had several warnings against puting ANY flammable liquid direct into the tank.  And for best results, the water level had to be at least up to the fill line, to make sure the liquid level was higher than the top of the Tranducer(s).

Caution...Power Dissolve will rust and corrode any iron,steel, parts or any other metal that will rust, it will also corrode your alum9num parts,
I have seen this several times with people that used Power Dissolve,  SO make sure you completely take the engine apart, rinse every part well, and then make sure you oil the parts very well before putting the engine back together
