Today I tested laser and it was a very good method.
Fast, totally clean cast iron, but the block has been into hot tank 3 times before so it was clean, but use cold pressuare water is get rust up fast ( edpecially as fall and moister air outside ) so last bath it was hot pressure.
Rust was almost all gone ( or gone ) in water channels.
But the laser took it to perfect cast iton.
Negative is work as a light, it will not go down if somethings hidden, but perfect after hot tank !
Totally dry ( no rust )
It burn all oil, paint, rust.
Its not great or solve all cleaning problem but I engine parts after hot tank is just perfect, it is 15-20 minutes on a block, 5 minutes on a crank etc.
I’m amazed.
Think if all all possibilitys.
I think a system might cost 5K.
