Cleaning heads?

Just finished tearing down my bad engine and was wondering what is the best way to clean my heads preferably cheaper the better. They are just going into storage unless someone buys them. And I don't want an oily mess to deal with.

If they're going into storage, I'd say the more oily mess the better. If you clean them spotless you've got to worry about rust and corrosion. I'd lube them up real well, seal each one in a contractor 3 mill trash bag and put them in storage like that.

Simple green or gas if you want to deal with it. Also brake parts cleaner. Spray them down real good In that stuff tayln posted the other day. Then as said above seal in a trash bag.
