    I have done them the same way as R Pope, never had a problem grease & clean & grease & clean, etc. I then taped a small tubing on a vac and stuck it in to make sure I didn't drop anything in.

    Take the head off!!!

    I hashed out a perfectly good engine one time when I thought I had everything cleaned out.

    Short cuts are great when they work, but fatal when your whole engine is at stake. Take the safe route, it may be a pain now, but it will be a lot better than a complete rebuild!

    Better yet.... pull the engine, use as a boat anchor or door stop. Get new crate engine of your personal choice and install.
