Help with Engine cleaning?

If you dont want to hot tank it that gunk works wonders. spray that on it and let it sit for a few hours then pressure wash it. Then i've always used dish soap and hot water and really scrub EVERYTHING blocking off ports into the motor of course. Also for the water jackets put a hose in the jackets and run water through it while adjusting the engine on the stand to different angles if its chunks of rust. Then using an air hose, blow everything off until it all seams dry then blow for another 10 minutes. Then i use a prepsall type degreaser to take all the oils off before painting and let her bake in the sun for a bit. Then mask her off and maker shine! :cheers:
