Default RE: Cleaning the engine

I have already done the antifreeze way. I realized that without heating there is not effect. With heating, most of the gummy stuff was disolved. However, a lot is stuck in the bearing.
I cannot clean the carb because of the plastic parts. Will the antifreeze attack plastics. Will the alcohol attack it?
It's the first time I hear about the alcohol. It it works it seems the way to go considering that I can cook the engine inhouse.(not poisenous)I will try it!
Thanks!
