Engine Component cleaner

Hey all,

I have a bunch of left over parts from a recent engine build(pistons,rods,water pump etc). I was wondering whats a good cleaning agent to clean up those parts before I sell them without harming the seals or metals.

Thanks in advance for the suggestions.

Simple Green is safe on just about everything, and you can adjust its strength by diluting with water. I don;t think you're going to find a lot of interest in those used parts, though, but I might take a piston for a paperweight.
