I am leaning towards the type of cleaners that reloaders use for their brass, but I thought I would ask here before buying anything.
I recently cleaned out an entire toyota inline 4 cylinder head of varnish and oil with mean green concentrate and hot water to flush.

I then spray some WD40 on the parts to keep them oiled and clean. Gets to nearly 90% of new cast clean.

if your parts are corroded or gray then soda blasting is the only way.
