Oli based solvent (paraffin etc.) and stiff brush and/or scraper/screwdriver to get the worst of the muck off.

I then use Brake Cleaner in a hand held pressurized garden sprayer to rinse them off - gets them squeaky clean. You can buy brake cleaner in 5L tins from a motor factor.

find a local engine builders, take your bits to them and see how much they would want to throw them into their cleaner.

cellulose is the muts nuts and cleaning engine parts... that and stiff brush.. = sparkling!
