Default First time cleaning an engine

Hi,

I have an old webra 40 that was given to me that is pretty grimey. When it was given to me the owner said the compression isn't what it used to be and needs an electric starter to start it.

I have heard of using anti-freeze to clean an engine in a crock pot, but i don't have a crock pot so would an old camping pot i don't use any more be fine? I have some other questions about it too.

1) At what temperature do i heat the anti freeze at, My stove settings are 1 thru 8.

2) How long do leave the engine in?

3) Do i take apart the engine when it's in the anti-freeze? or only the glow plug?

4) is it safe? will the anti freeze blow up in my face?

5) will this help my engine?

Thanks in advance!
