I discovered oven cleaner many years ago. The dollar store stuff does not work as well as Easy Off. I will most likely have them cleaned by the machine shop anyway and they usually want to do that before they put them on their machines but I hate to work with grimy, oily parts and it makes it easier to locate defects. Tom-I don't want to do a lengthy discussion here but I am using the 5.6 heads on my build. I think I worked through all my concerns with them on the iron block.

I just spray it on, it foams up, I let is sit for an hour and then hit the car wash to pressure wash it off. It will not get everything but it will remove most of the grease and gunk.
Then some carb cleaner and a plastic brush to scrub off the rest.
The result will be a clean but normal looking part. Not shiney or dull. Just clean.
