After head gasket head cleaning d16z6
Ok...I figure to part out the motor on ebay. The d16z6. What's the best way to clean the head? Do I take it entirely apart first? Valves etc? Take it to a place to have it dipped? I'd rather not spend any money on it. There was so much stop leak in the motor (pevious owner) plus the gasket being blown that it looks like someone dumped a mocha latte all in it. Could rust be an issue? I'm taking it off tonight when I get home from work.
Any help would be cool.
I searched, but a lot was from about a year ago. Thought maybe new heads may have other ideas as well.

Wow!!!! Do I disassemble it, or leave it all put together? LOL I guess I could SNEAK that bad-boy in the dishwasher, but to be safe, I'll just go with simple green. Weekend is coming up and my girlfriend might flip. lol

if u no some1 w/ a shop that has a solvent tank take it over there if not brake cleaner or carb cleaner works spray it on wipe it clean. If u lk horsepower you might want to get the intake and exhaust ported out for future use i know a guy in chicago who says 200 for it. Or if u are poor u can do the polish part and polish the intake and exhaust ports for some better flow
