hi twins, i started by putting it through the dishwasher,but i found the best way was to put some gravel in it. the small stuff no bigger than 10mm stuff with some water and washing up liquid. the next bit was the hard part, try and seal the holes up then shake the gravel around till your arms are about to fall off!!

with the header tank, try using pink antifreeze when your done, as it seems to make the tank look brighter, rather than using the blue stuff
heres a couple more of the tank

after
