Haven't seen this technique since living up the
street from Los Gatos Ferrrari & Exotics (1983ish) !
Tranny and engine had leaks.
Seller (dealer) replaced -four- oil return tubes.
? How to get off the burned crud off engine case, valve covers and tranny?
No Problemo.
- Dry Ice Cleaning? ($1500-2500)
- Steam Cleaning? ($ 200-400) (Real heavy-duty Truck vehicle steam.)
- Simple Green Aviation, powerwash and Elbow Grease? ($50-100)
HELL NO!!!!! BillieBob Khrome rattle-can Silver Paint to the rescue!

"we thoroughly cleaned exterior of block
and trans and obviously painted both with ceramic 500° paint
to preserve, protect and maintain."
(BAT photos 219 and 223 show the worse of it)
PS, I just went through engine cleaning, and opted for Simple Green Aviation blend
with powerwasher and scrubbrushes. I better choice would be a super-duty
steam,
but those are closing down due to EPA, it's the best bang for the buck
and you don't have to endure the mess at home.
There was a place in San Jose, CA but it's gone now.
Dry Ice is memsermerizing to watch, but the quarter size blast area takes time
and the cost is $$$$. Perfect for concours/show cars, me- I got a driver.
