What do you think of this "stuff" for cleaning the grunge out of a

Alkaline degreaser will loosen/remove carbon deposits.

I used to soak Quincy 2-stage air compressor heads in it at a previous
job, to remove the coked oil & crud from the internal passages before
rebuilding & it worked very very well & even left the paint on them.
