AndySpeed, tape it off so u dont get overspray on anything important.
Side note: I taped everything off before i did grinding and polishing to keep the rust dust and all the crap out of the engine, worked well.

To tape it off i just used newspaper and masking tape, make sure there's no oil or it wont stick. I can snap a pic if you want. As for the grinder, my friend let me borrow the one he uses at work so i got lucky, it's similar to the one someone posted a picture of and runs off compressed air, let me tell you it spins like a banshee.

RE: clean and prep block for new h/c/i
Yeah thats true, I'm not sure it would depend on your cashflow. I guess i got lucky, I'm using my friend's stand and another friend's puller... If you could find a puller you can get a stand at advance auto parts for like $40 i think...
