Sludge out of your head? I feel like that most Saturday mornings

As for your cylinder head - what about GUNK, or similar degreaser? I tend to use paraffin for most heavy degreasing, then give it a wipe with something a bit nicer to finish it off

A pair of rubber gloves a realy big bucket and diesel leave it to soak over night it'll fall off. If you are realy brave you can put it in the dish washer with twice the amount of tablets but don't get caught doing this!
