personally, carb cleaner for top end and engine base cleaner for bottom end (many brands). The chamber is not the base pans world. why connect them , even with a chemical that leaves?
and the most imporant clean of all is a very very high powered high pressure burning hot steam clean with a powerful cleaner added...on the OUTSIDE of the engine.
Always figured it was wrong as I never saw excess crap in the oil, but didn't know if that were universal.

The soak works for me. That much I know and have the stats to prove.
