A couple of fills with the almost-boiling degreaser and 2-3 hours' running time each is a pretty good time frame. After softening the deposits with the TSP, I do a boiling water rinse and an immediate air cleaning. An instructor at the old GM training center in Memphis used to tell us "Put 55 gallons of air through every passage!" I use a needle-tipped blow gun and 100+ PSI of air pressure for that process.
