    i would turn the engine upside down with the bore off and give it a good shake,after wards give it a blast round with a air line

    only way to be 100% is to strip it really,

    if you dont want to strip it, swill the cases with petrol a few times and then use a petrol/oil mix in the same ratio as pre-mix. Leave it to stand open for a while so the whole lot dont explode due to fumes on re-assembly

    might be worth getting 1 of them extendable magnets and having a snoop round inside see if there is anything obvious in there
