Wow nice to see you on here Brad! Honestly if you don't want to go through walnut blasting, and have a little time, you can use cleaning solution along with brushes and pics, and get 90% of it. Just have to do 2 cylinders at a time. Let it soak, then clean it with the utensils. It's called something like "gm top cyl cleaner" or something like that.

Not a hard job. Do you have a decent air compressor?

Have you pulled the intake manifold or used a borescope to confirm that the valves are in fact coked with oil/carbon?
