Afternoon all,
the head cleaned up with very little intervention and witness marks mostly gone.
The block however .. is this just perseverance with a wire brush on a power tool or how clean is clean enough?

Alpine fun

Simon

I wouldn't use anything too abrasive.
Just persevere as if you were cleaning up a dirty pan with burnt on bits, but do protect the bores by putting something in the cylinders to catch all the bits. Scrape it with something hard but not a chisel!
Others will come on with their favourite methods.

I wouldn't use any sort of power tool as you'll get low dips , just a good razor blade scraper and some fine emery roll by hand.
