The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Flushing Block and Head

I have a 1933 Model B (46) 4 cyl. pickup and removed the head to replace the head gasket. The engine has been running and must have been rebuilt at some point, maybe 30-40 years ago. Lots of rust and some crud, though, in the block and head. Some loose. Any thoughts on DIY cleaning methods? Thanks in advance.
