Take it to a machine shop and have it hot tanked. I paid $20 to have it done.

Ok here is how I do them:
1 Engine only comes to me after it has been to the machine shop
A: Degreased
B: Been worked on and ready for assy.
2. Bead blast block heads oil pan etc.
3. Spray with acetone from a bottle ( WEAR A MASK )
4. Let dry and powder coat..
