Now I'm at the point of taking the cam back out and washing the block again, as much as I tried to prevent it, there are metal shavings everywhere.

I never would have thought that oven cleaner would work so well cleaning out the intakes. Damn near spotless. I'm definitely keeping a can of that around.

Nice Build

Looks like is coming along smoothly for you. What color are you going for on the valve covers?

yeah, I used that on my explorer lower, and my stock oil pan to remove all the tarnish... works great... BUT make sure you don't leave it on long on the Alum, and wash it really good, I heard it will eat it...
