Re: cleaning parts?
If you're rebuilding, you should be replacing the water pump and the rear main seal so don't worry about cleaning them. The oil pump can be reused, but shouldn't really need any cleaning. Really any solvent product will work fine as long as you re-coat with fresh oil to protect against rust after you degrease it.
