The 'little' items like brackets and bolts get scraped and then a wire brush - either by hand or motorized. Valve covers get the scrape-Gunk-Dawn dishwash soap routine in the woods behind my house.

Playing with cars is supposed to be fun not a chore which means you have to be like a kid and get down and get dirty.

Yes, I do get blocks and heads hot tanked - but only after I do a complete strip down including pulling any threaded and core plugs along with cam bearings in blocks.

(dang kids......)

well it nice to get a strip out block to hot tank as you can spend many hours getting busted bolts out along very rusty pipe plugs that can add up in time and $$ to the customer. but its way better for me to do the job all the way thru. then when some bone head bust off a EZ out or takes out the cam bearing s and cut s the cam bores all to hell so less you know what your doing bettter let some one do it. that knows what there doing . your not saving any money . BUT i will say i do not under stand getting heads with the spark plugs in them for a mill or rebuild all the time? nice thing about you. has you can clean all your stuff up. were i have to deal with the wast/water / caustic soaps that can burn and eat skin . its not cheap to haul this stuff off in a safe way.....
