The one pic is fresh home from the machine shop. I have since cleaned it twice. Before installing the bearings shown for measuring for clearance I wiped down the block housings with acetone just to remove any residues of any kind. The other pic is just oil from the main bolts as you have to put oil on the threads and seats of the bolts. I have to say there is a lot of not so glamorous parts of this; for example cleaning the crank, block, and measuring everything three maybe four times.

nice list! i'm very interested in seeing how this build works out for you. i was hoping to do a build next year, but with the economy it might get pushed of for some time.

Cleaned the decks with a green scrubby pad(the one you can barely get stuff off your dishes with) and simple clean. It required a lot of elbow grease but I didn't want to disturb the sealing surfaces of the decks. Also note the machine work for using the HR gaskets.

6K to stay N/A and perhaps pick up 60 hp doesn't seem worth the money and time....you will be unhappy with the results shortly and go FI. You may as well plan for it during your build.
