I'm afraid this one won't last long, either.

the one I rushed after a night of drinking lasted 4 hours...

Vatted or hot tanked is what I always heard it referred to as an operation

And you always give them a good cleaning with detergent and water/compressed air afterwards.

vat
/vat/
noun

1. 1.
   a large tank or tub used to hold liquid, especially in industry.
   "a vat of hot tar"

A vat. A vat of liquid. I guess they don't really do that anymore for disposal and environmental reasons. Most just bake them. I guess I kind of just use it as a catch-all term.

lol, i love how nomenclature can be regional. being from minnesota, i called to a dealership in iowa that was selling a ford scan tool. the gentleman told me "it was always crated, racked and shedded".
oh, boxed, shelved and stored inside. why didn't he just say that. lol

anyways, who wants some hot dish?

So, what's in the vat? I tried Tide on the Series 2 block, but it ain't work so good, ended up using Purple Power and Dawn.

I prefer a pressure washer in all the nooks, crannies and passages. the a wipe down with wd40. But I'm Canadian, so do what you will.

I agree; pressure is good. I used a garden hose nozzle, but sumpin' better than nuttin'.

Bah.
I'll admit when I messed up. The tool while it drives the bearings in fine enough, is not so good at lining them up. Bought the "proper" camshaft bearing tool from ebay for $60 and 2 more sets of cam bearings. Oh well. Sometimes DIY works, othertimes not so much.

but why take a chance is there is no need to, sometimes trying to save time and money gets real expensive
