I use two sizes of cup brushes on an angle grinder (large and small). For really stubborn areas, I will scrape with a scraper or even a screw driver if need be. I also wash with lye soap afterward to remove rest of paint and grease residue. Badly caked parts that I can remove I drop them into a lye solution to soak until they come out clean. Mix one pound lye crystals/powder into 5 gallons hot water and toss the parts in. Come back tomorrow and they are usually done unless really bad. I soaked a cylinder head once for a month before it finally came out clean as when it was new. Took out all the carbon, grease, sludge and paint, and even the crud in the cooling passages as well. Lye is the active ingredient in most oven cleaners as well, which is why they work so well. if you cannot find straight lye, (try hardware stores), then Drain-O crystals are the same thing in a prettier can.
