Even though you don't have access to water, I would want to jump in the engine bay and at least use a scraper to remove the thicker layers of gunk, maybe even soak everything with degreaser so when the time comes it will be an easier task.

I didn't have much luck with the headers on the BB402 that I'm replacing. These have 1 5/8 runners and a 2 1/2" collector so I'm hoping that they are decent performance wise and better on heat management. Gonna get them ceramic coated after break-in.

I did pretty much in the engine bay with exactly as you described. Cleaner and a plastic scraper. Its decently clean(ish)

Been doing some farm work this week cause of the good weather, rain coming back next week so I hope to get the motor in, then ignition work starts!
