No, I am looking for somebody nearby with a micro-inspection cam. Otherwise I will get one myself. I do this every 10k miles along with a cam follower change and oil and filter change, yes.

Usually Seafoam or similar.

Mineral spirits/mineral turpentine are used in the higher quality cleaners(per msds's) like bg44k.
naptha/moth balls is in seafoam.
