The "best" thing to do is to have them hot tanked at the machine shop. This will usually remove all grease, sludge, rust and scale. Any other cleaning method will result in a partially cleaned part, since you won't really be able to get inside the oil ports or coolant passages. This is one area that it's worth the extra cost to have it done right.
