          i'd be carefull with what you clean it with. So you don't ruin the seals. AAre you trying to clean like where the cams sit and shit. Or inside the ports?

            Is all the same sh*t the liquid will get all over the head whether through the port or where the camshaft goes.... OK this PLAN A: go to your local machine shop have them hot tank it is 50 bucks at most places.

            PLAN B: Do it yourself get a couple of "AutoZone brand" break cleaner cans, don’t! get gunck or advance auto is not the same and wont evaporate as fast, anyways spray the head where the big shit is first then work your way to the et and ex ports til everything is nice and clean. Now the trick to break cleaner it oxidizes aluminum u don’t want that to happen so as soon as your done whether the head is going on in 2hrs or 6 months get a spray bottle of any kind put 10w30 oil and spray it lightly all around on the INSIDE OF HEAD as a lobe. Do not spray around where valve cover gasket would go or where head gasket goes or directly in ports. This will protect the break cleaner from eating into it that’s about it... Note it won’t mess up the valve seals just lobe them good after the break cleaner
