Whenever I have a block machined, I take it to the local high pressure car wash. A few cans of gunk and a couple of brushes from the dollar store and it looks great. Dirt and machining grit is not your friend. I'm always amazed at what else comes out when it looks "clean".

Thanks!! I did not pull any of them... I used compressed air to get out any of the cleaner and rinsing water. I'll use compressed air and a lint-free cloth again prior to assembly... I'll pull the oil squirters just to make sure nothing got in there during disassembly...

I am using the carb cleaner in the gallon can... It is absolutely amazing stuff, even saturated with oil and gunk!! I cleaned both heads and the block with a half gallon of used cleaner... I have another gallon for the rest of the parts pulled from the motor...
Good news everyone!!! I got my six valves today... I still don't have my valve stem seals yet, but I hope to get that box soon enough!!!
Here is the box the six valves I need came in...
I'm sure there is a complete DS cyl head along with the six valves I need...
I had to work the past three days, so not much got done... Soaking valley pan bolts in the cleaner... But that is about it... I'll be pulling the cyl head apart tomorrow... Let me know if you need something...
Cheers until tomorrow!!!
