ok, i had my block machined,bored and new cam bearings installed. i placed the block in a lil storage room here at my work with a tarp wrapped on it. well went out there yesterday and it seems that one of the guys that works here took the tarp. so my question is, can you spray down the block to help get all the dust of/out of it with water and not hurt the cam bearings? or can i use brake kleen? don't really wanna pay the machine shop to dip it again.. i have a few days for it to dry before i start assembling it. any info would be greatly appreciated. thanks
mike

Just wipe the surfaces off, a few days in a storage room shouldn't be that bad. I wouldn't use anything on it, just rags. Then put your Assembly lube on everything before you put it together.

Yea rags and compressed air to blow all the oil passages out.

After doing the prep, with compressed air, I like using WD-40 to coat everything to inhibit any sort of potential rust.
