*misread the block you want cleaned up
Hot tank is a no due to it being aluminum
The machine shop can do something called a jet wash

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

Wear gloves, face mask, PROTECT YOURSELF from the
water/cleaner mix. Don't get the mix on you!
Remove all aluminum, copper,....anything thats not steel/cast iron
from the block. Remove any plugs and fittings. Attach a balanced chain to lower, and get the block out with, later on......so you don't get wet, and don't get anything on you, and don't knock over the drum.
Cover the block with water in a good metal drum,
carefully dump in caustic soda, or lye or maybe drano,
but not all three, heat the water until boiling, if needed.
Heating will take a while with so much to heat. Open fire works
pretty good, with the barrel up off the ground with concrete blocks
at sides/edges of barrel.
Filling the barrel with boiling water from the tap will speed the heating,
but fill barrel BEFORE dumping in the chemicals.
Wear gloves, face mask, PROTECT YOURSELF from the
water/cleaner mix. Don't get the mix on you!
Hoist the block out with the chain when sufficiently boiled.-Bob
