Default How do I clean the case without disassembly?

I acquired a REVTECH 110" motor that a friend sucked the rear valve on. I am looking to rebuild this motor. I know that there are probably some pieces of piston and valve in the lower case, but don't want to disassemble the case to clean it out. All of the damage is to the head, piston, and cylinder.

Any recommendations to get the case clean without disassembling or using a solvent that will harm the gaskets?

Thanks - Al

man if you don't pull that lower case and clean it out properly, you're asking for trouble later on (and maybe not-so-later-on). sorry I know that's not a recommendation you want but why spend all that time and $$ doing the top end without making sure the bottom end is ok too.

Are there any good engine rebuild books for the modern motors you guys would reccomend so when I split the cases I do it right putting it back together?

Thanks - Al
