Best way to clean block

[durallymax]

Just got everything tore down and was wondering what you guys methods were for cleaning everything up nice and purty. I want to get it all cleaned up then Ill oil it all down.

Want to get a coat of paint on it too but havent decided what color. Cant remember who, but I know somebody on here did CAT yellow. I didnt like it at first but its growing on me. Looks a little better and different than all of the red motors out there. Of course I could always do black but thats too boring for me.

machine shop will usually hot tank the block after the machining is completed .
i like a black block , all the blocks i have painted looked great till a year down the road .... then black is king . but if you dont D/D it doesnt get dirtied up as much .

Then ill just say piss on the cleaning then.

It is kinda a DD but looking at buying a new one for DD this fall so I might as well make it look pretty.
