You can turn over by hand but you'll need to verify the valves are closed. I chose to use a bore scope instead of removing the valve cover.
Gasoline works exceedingly well on carbon. You could put it in the runner, clean with a wire brush and then soak it up with a rag and blow it dry with compressed air. It might do the trick if you do not have the blaster.

Im doing my cleaning now... I don't have a blaster for the heads I was planning on running a flexible brush on a drill down the head to clean out as much as I can and get some meth working for me.....
knowing how easy the manifold comes off I have no issues yanking it off again
