I scrape what I can off, then use a wire brush in a die grinder to get the rest.

Well I used a razor blade for the big stuff then dropped it in the solvent tank and finally scrubbed with a scotchbrite. Worked well

On something as hard as the cast iron engine block on these engines I wouldn't hesitate to lay into it with a grinder and cup brush if you can get it into where you need to be.

The block was the easy part. Hot tank and done

I've used the cup brush on the tins as well, just use a softer brush, not one of the ones with the twisted bristles. I generally lay them upside down on the bench and run a screw through a couple of the holes to hold them still so they aren't skittering about as I am cleaning them. A variable speed grinder makes that a lot easier too.
