All you can really do is remove stuff that's easy enough to get to like the induction pipe work, airbox etc, and get scrubbing.

As above, takes a long time. I've always used megs engine cleaner. This was after i had 'finished' several hours work on it... I still werent happy with it though.
Ignore the 'bodges' it was a temporary measure
