Hello,
I am new to the forum, and I am going to need some help. I am doing a fairly expensive engine build on my 2005 Corvette. I am in the process of doing a heads and cam install. The cam is already installed and the heads are ready to go back on. I took some bad advice and after having trouble getting the deck of my engine block cleaned I had at it with SCOTCH BRITE. Well, the deck is clean. Shortly thereafter I found a thread on this site about absolutely not using scotch brite on engine parts due to the aluminum oxide particles destroying bearings. I am not ready to start pulling pistons out. What can I do to flush this engine so I can get a long life out of it? I can't be doomed, there has to be some way to get this stuff out? Also I noticed some dust did get on my cam. How aggressive are these particles? I really don't want to have to do an engine rebuild in 1K over something this stupid.
