(thread jack?) after you grind/dremel all of that stuff off... how do you clean it? do you have to worry about stuff going down the cylinders? that always worried me...

SAND PAPER.
FOR real fun and to make you think twice before overheat your car!

I used a dremmel with brass wire brushes.

Brass won't scratch the aluminum under normal circumstances.
