Thanks for all the suggestions. I had already taken the engine apart and dunked the parts separately. The rod is free on the pin, and I've cleaned the exterior of the piston with a used scotchbrite pad. It had obviously been run for a while with stuck rings because the was a LOT of burned on blow-by below the rings.

I haven't had a chance to do anything with it since the initial post - just one more day in the anti-freeze. I'll first give it a go with the heat gun, then switch to the acetone.

The rest of the parts have cleaned up pretty well. The case finish is different from what I have ever seen on an Enya; it's very shiny, almost chrome-like. No sign it had ever been polished or messed with. That is usually pretty easy to see in the crevices and on the corners. It is the first version 60 7032.
