So it's pretty well known to just not mess with the rotating assembly on these motors, but I want to do a thorough cleanup of my engine. It's torn down to the shortblock. I wanna degrease it and remove any grime, strip the old paint and give it a new fresh coat of paint. Does anyone have any tips for cleaning a short block without removing all the internals? I've seen a couple methods of covering the mating surfaces with newspaper or some sort of material to paint, but what about for possibly pressure washing it?
Thanks
