I use a steam cleaner, but a large industrial one, I bet a pressure washer would do a simular job. You can also use brick acid, avaible from all builders merchants. If not then good old petrol does a good job.

i heard cellulose thinner was great for the task
or paraffin

i have has the block machined all the threads checked, threaded oil galley plugs & i want to give it a good clean to make sure theres no swarf or lil metal bits before i locktight my galley plugs in place & paint the block, i'm just trying to be super clean with it!

i have brick acid, would i dilute it a bit jimster? i also have a pressure washer & a stand i can mount the block on, i have a few pipes to stick in a few holes in the thing too!

i have thinners n parrafin too! gotta have this stuff about! it all smells so nice hehe
