A proper acid wash is a big tank to soak the block in.. You can clean the block yourself if there's not too much old oil baked on it .. If it is baked on an proper tank at an engine shop is the best option. They leave it in for several hours loosens up all the crud then you need to give it a good clean out after yourself before assembly

most engine machine shops can tank it for you, it`s not even worth trying to do it yourself imo, it not a lot of $$$$

It's not actually "acid" but caustic soda (for iron blocks and parts ONLY.It will eat alloy parts including bearings,all of which have to removed)
