I have just bought a slightly fire damaged 2.0 and I'm in the process of stripping it down. I've already sprayed it with two cans of Gunk and pressure washed it, but it is not getting as clean as I want. I want to get the sheet metal (engine tin, air deflectors, heater boxes and tubes, etc.) cleaned up so I can repaint them. I want to get the heads and engine case cleaned up to start the rebuild.

So the question is should I take the pieces to someone to have them chemically cleaned? Does Safety Kleen do this sort of thing or do they just sell and recycle the chemicals to repair shops? Should I get the heads and case sand or bead blasted to clean them up?

I don't want to go to the trouble of making some type of tank to soak this stuff in or buying a sand blaster to use once. I want to take them to someone dirty and get them back clean. I do just about everything myself, but cleaning stuff is no fun.
