| The crock-pot on low, works well with the motor parts submerged in antifreeze. Heat it up (no need to boil), let it simmer a couple of hours, then let it all cool down.
Rinse well, reassemble using lots of oil.
Do NOT use the crock pot for cooking anything you're going to eat after doing this.
The nasty burnt-on oil residue will be gone. Carbon deposits may not be.
Yes, the motor needs to be stripped down. After rinsing well, pop the parts in your oven at 250-300 degrees for a short while to dry things out before reassembly.

Alternate method that works well. Go to your grocery store, to the dishwashing liquid section. Pick up a small dark blue spray bottle of Dawn Power Dissolver.
Strip the motor down. Hose the gunky parts with the Dawn Power Dissolver. Let it all sit for 15-20 minutes. Use an old toothbrush on the exterior after the stuff's been on the parts. It doesn't take much effort, this stuff really works well. Rinse using hot water. Shake off excess water, dry the parts in your over, reassemble using lots of oil.
