Due to increasingly restrictive EPA regulations "Hot Tanking" is not done anymore by most modern engine shops. The chemicals used in hot tanks are enviromentally hazardous and very difficult to dispose of.
Instead, most shops have converted to "Jet Washing".

The block is placed on a rotating table inside a sealed cabinet and a couple of dozen hi-pressure spray nozzles shoot hot, water based degreaser at it for a while until it's clean.
