This is the reason I decided to strip the engine down complete. I used paint stripper then blasted it with the gernie, what bits were left came straight off with a wire wheel on the drill press. It's alot easier getting into the nooks and cracks with the engine in pieces and well you don't want to be using the gernie if you don't strip it right down and dry it out. I also got these tiny hobby wire wheels you put on a Dremel to get in those hard to reach places, there like a few bucks for a pack of 5 on fleabay I put them on the drill or drill press and they work wonders especially cleaning inside the valve ports with a bit of carb cleaner. I just use the cheap paint stripper from Bunnings it's only $9.99 and works the same as the Selley's, just be carefully this stuff burns if you get it on your skin so make sure your covered up and wear eye protection when removing the paint with this stuff on it.
