Default Is my block clean enough



Getting ready to install heads is the clean enough or an I in for more work. I am planning on cleaning the pistons a little more too.

Are you going nitrous or boost? The gasket seal is as good as your block and heads are clean. Mine looked about the same, I razor cleaned them and used carbuclean with a scrub sponge and I stock bolts and ls9 gasket and it hold just fine with 200hp shot thru it
