cleaning inside of block.

Hey Everyone.

Im picking up a used LS1 block for my build. Id like to clean the block completely inside and out.

What would i use to clean the oil tint off the inside of the block?

Brake Cleaner? Engine Degreaser? Super clean?

Thanks!

I know many guys that use lacquer thinner and of course carb cleaner is always a good friend.

Soap and water work very well too. Esecially if you are honing. It is the only real way to get out all the metal. I use soap and water, and a little simple green.

Wire brush, preferrably before machining.
