Maybe I am cheap but I plug all holes as others have said. Then I scrap all of the crusty stuff off and give it a good coating of oven cleaner. I let it bake for a couple of hours in the sun then hose it off with water. Then I dry and paint. Oven cleaner is a poor mans hot tank.

I like this oven cleaner idea , I have a block that was cleaned and machined and the cleaning tanks today are nothing like those of yesterday and it still has most of the old paint on it. The guy I'm doing this for was crying about the paint still being on it and I was trying to figure out a way to get it off ... this may be the trick
