Ooooooh, carb cleaner! I forgot about that miracle worker. :0)
Thanks for the reminder and thanks to everyone else for the suggestions on the WD40 and the hair dryer. I have both a bottom bracket and a headset that are in about the same shape. Fortunately the surfaces underneath the grunge look pretty good. I may try the WD40 on one set of parts and carb cleaner on the other to see which works the best.
Stay tuned...
