Wire wheel on a drill.But you really should disassemble it and do it right.And don't hot tank it all assembled.It will ruin the seals and leave solvent in the guides.

wire wheel is probably the easiest and safest way with the head assembled. Although you should do it proeprly and have it disassembled and check your seats and guides at the same time.

The best way to do it if you have the head apart is to take it to a shop for ultrasonic cleaning. That will not only get the carbon off, but it'll help clean out the water passages and the oil drainbacks.
