Should be fine, I had a mate that did it all the time, he did a cylinder head for me once.
Nurse Julie:
Don't put a dishwasher tablet in unless it's a non corrosive type, otherwise it may send all the alloy black. It will also make any steel parts, like the liners go rusty immediately. Maybe consider an acid dip clean (needs to be done professionally) to get all old paint/oil/sh*t off, achieves a far better result.

Surely the parts washers at machine shops are pretty much an industrial dish washer? Guess I'll try with just hot water after scrubbing the worst of the grime off.
I'll dry them off with an air compressor and any steel bits can get a wipe of WD40 when will report back tomorrow!
Nurse Julie:
Industrial parts washers use chemicals but, non corrosive and also an inhibitor to stop them rusting.

I have put a complete cg engine in the dishwasher that came out spotless.A few rocker covers,Cylinder head,carbs and now a wiring loom all with a dishwasher tab and all were fine. ;)
WD40 on the liners is a good idea I did the same to prevent rust
