Take a look at my blog and you can see the various steps and process I went through in stripping down my engine block and front end of all grease and rust. If i was to do all over again, I would have started with a heavy duty pressure washer with a strong sprayable degreaser, or find someone that does mobile engine steam cleaning. As the biggest challenge is removing all the accumulated grease, road grime and dirt.

I really had to get in there with a screw driver to remove all the crap from the around the suspension and steering parts. Some places it was 3" thick.

A wire wheel on a die grinder (with a face shield) works great from removing all the rust from the nooks and crannies.
