now that my engine block is fully stripped, what is the best way to clean all the oily manky stuff off it?



would it be worth getting it acid dipped?

I cleaned mine with brake cleaner and a washing up brush then turned it on its side and pressure washed it!

would it be worth it to pay to get it acid dipped so that it clears out all the oil galleries and coolant pockets or shite aswell as taking it back to a bare block?
