Default Quick question on engine cleaning

I have a Super Tigre G 90 that has a few miles on it and needs to be cleaned on the inside and outside. I plan on using the antifreeze method. No need to go into this method as there's plenty of info already on the forums.
A couple of questions:
1. I understand you must not put any plastic rings in the antifreeze as this will eat them. So, what parts should be disassembled and not put in the crock pot? I heard the carb is one. Any others?
2. To get max cleaning on the "inside" of the engine, should I completely disassemble the engine or just take the cylinder head and back plate off?
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
If the engine will be disassembled, I will use the Sport Aviator article link listed below as it seems to make good common sense and has good detail for the beginner trying this.
