I would clean the entire block surface (not final clean, just remove gasket material) and tape the whole block surface with
clear packing tape. That way you can see what you're doing better.
OP, I am not sure what you are doing with the engine bar you bought. It won't help you much lifting the head with the exhaust manifold. You could remove the manifold and lift the head by hand, but that's a big hassle -removing the exhaust manifold. Lifting the head and manifold together with an engine hoist is the best way. But you could also remove the hood (easy) and rig up a come-along or similar to lift the head and manifold straight up.
