Jack,

Great post! I would add just a couple of things.

1) Have the block dipped in muriatic acid. That will clean out the crap in the water jackets better than anything.

2) Use a long steel rod pushed through the main oil galleries to clear the crusted up oil deposits. Do this early on in the cleaning process so the smaller stuff left can be dealt with by the later processes.

"Cleanliness is next to godliness." -- Francis Bacon (1605).
