nope.
the rocker covers, pistons, rods, etc were all left in a parts washer filled with kero and switched on for 2 weeks. a little bit of the oil from the surface was taken off, but the only way to get into the crud was picking it off with a screw driver/razor blade/scribe
the high pressure hose took large chunks off at a time, which (more often than not) landed on something important, like my face or other cars in the workshop. it was then a case of trying to get the crud off whatever it landed on which was just as hard as getting it off the engine. by the time i gave up trying there was a pile of black crud on the driveway that is still there to this day, regardless of all the scraping/hosing/sweeping and driving cars over it.
think i have pics, i will try and see where they are.

Sorry to burst anyones bubble... it dosen't matter if you change your oil often or not, using the correct oil is just as important.

Pennzoil, eh? Tore down a 302 with about 75k miles on it a couple years back that had been fed Pennzoil its entire life, 4k mile oil changes...I think I'll stay away from running it in anything I own.
