What are you gonna use to remove all that gunk? Is there a specific product? Or just like a brush or something?

My sponsor shop doesn't have a walnut blasting machine which is the best way of doing it so we seafoam it and brush out and suck up all the junk out of there . Second best of doing it . Nothing beats wallnut blasting though

How did you make sure the gunk didn't get into the cylinders through a value that might be slightly open?

That's why you spin the engine around accordingly as you work.

Valves closed nothing gets in. Yours has been done before as that isn't that bad.
I had mine cleaned so cheaply I could not buy the cleaning tools for what I paid...

Would you mind telling me how much you were charged and whether what kind of indy shop you went to? I'm curious

I'd like to do this myself eventually.
