A better technique, and one less likely to damage the head due to reaction
of the soap and cast aluminum is to use oven cleaner. Go to the local 98
Cent store and buy a few cans of the foaming oven cleaner, put the head in a
plastic tub and spray the shit outta it. Let it soak for about 15 minutes
or whatever it says on the can for "baked on grease".
Then hose it off, scrub the tough greasy spots and repeat if neccessary.
Works great, I just cleaned up my spare intakes and greasy motor mounts this
way.
Also, a mix of driveway cleaner and simple green works to presoak the parts
in.

Subject: running head through dishwasher?
Hey all, I have a spare 8v head that I'd like to clean up but not put any
$$$ into. I've heard running a head through a dishwasher works fairly well?
Right now it has no cam or lifters, just the casting with valve's and
springs still intact. Would this hurt anything on my aluminum head using my
household dishwasher? Should I remove the valves first? (don't want to
because I don't have a spring compressor)- thnks-
Rob
