To hot tank or not?

To hot tank or not?
I picked up a sohc head and it's black like tar inside but there's no sludge on any of the parts and under the valve cover it's spotless so I don't think thats original cover for it. Anyways how can I clean the head without having to disassemble it and hot tanking it? Would just Seafoam work when I get the engine together and running or is there something else? Maybe just spray it down with brake or carb cleaner? Can I hot tank it completely assembled or not? Sorry I just never had anything hot tanked before so I don't know what is all involved with it and what has to be done to the parts before hand.

IT would only get rusty if you left some water on the parts with out wiping them down. If they are submerged it shouldnt matter. Just make sure that you wipe them down completely. A couple days shouldnt hurt anything.
