I have a intake (upper and lower) from an exploder and both have some heavy oily film inside the ports. What is the best way to clean them? soak them in??

I do a lot of work on carburetors and I soak them in combustion cleaner overnight. Might take a lot tho. Any rubber gaskets or O rings should be removed before doing so as is the cleaner causes rubber to expand. Parts come out as new.
I always use lacquer thinner to clean oil and sludge type residue. I have an old plastic tote that I cut to size and a couple bottle bushes and tooth brushes that I use while wearing kitchen gloves and eye pro with good ventilation. Works very fast.
