[QUOTE="mna0121, post: 641297, member: 2868"] Haven't seen it mentioned but I will throw this in. Before you begin de-burring the piston wipe some clean grease between it, the piston, and its bore, don't pack it in just build a barrier around the bore. Keep the piston at TDC where you have it in the pic. also put something, tape and plastic, over the rest of the engine to keep the junk out of the rest of it. Once done de-burring use your shop vac. to suck up the grease and piston dust, start the piston down its bore about 1/4 inch or lees and wipe with a lint free rag damp with brake part cleaner, move it down a little more and repeat with another damp rag. Over Kill!!!! you can never be too clean when assembling an engine. Once done spray WD-40 on the bare surfaces of the block including the bores but don't soak the bores, wipe them with those lent free rags. Bag it up till you are ready to put it back together.
