Ported Heads?

When you port out heads is it a "must" to have them chemically dipped to get the metal shavings out or is an air compressor and a rag good enough?

i didn't know you could hot tank our heads...seeing as how they are aluminum..

What would happen if you did?

I thought a little bit of time, air compressor and a rag would be good enough.

last time i hot tanked aluminum i just about got fired from one of my old jobs...ruined 5000 gallons worth of chemicals in the hot tank, it eats away at the metal and messes up the chemical balance in the tank
