deburr all the sharp edges and tangs out with a rotary file and a sanding roll, first. Then I wash it out with hot soap (dishwashing) and very hot water, then blast with compressed air, then spray with lacquer thinner, then blow with compressed air again.

that works, remember to turn it upside down once in a while. it adds 'panache' to the whole thing.

cuts any oils, residue, film left on case. if it is a previously run case, lacquer thinner will cut sealant on case halves too! It works well for a parts cleaner. Just make sure you have ventilation and wear gloves.
I typically wash all engine parts with hot water and strong dishwashing soap then blow dry thoroughly, then spray with lacquer thinner then blow again.

Jim, who's case was that you had suspended in the swimming pool? Some little girl kept sticking her chewing gum on it.
