LS3 Block prep?

Hi Guys, just got my LS3 block delivered last week and will be assembling in the near future. Today i cleaned up the sharp edges on the casting, around the bottom of the bores, and any other bits that looked particularly rough, the block is 4.070 bore that has been torque honed. Is there any thing i can do more?

Rough casting anywhere the oil drains back. Make sure all the oiling galleys are clean of trash. Blow out & clean bolt holes. Any sharp edges that can cut you when working on it. LOL

Thats about all I can think of.
