Re: Cleaning Engine Block?
clean it with a wire brush and some degreaser, (expect for the cylinders) and then after you give it a good douch/wipe down with solvent spray it down real good with WD 40 to prevent flash rust.
I prefer to use Isopropyl alcohol (90 percent) for my garage solvents, it is cheap and evaporates clean.

Re: Cleaning Engine Block?
Use a Por-15 equivalent and flash rust is no longer an issue...
