RE: headless 383

Don't use any compressed air to clean out debris that accumulates in the cylinders. You could drive some small particulate into the rings. Instead, put rope putty around the edges of the pistons inside the cylinders, vacuum out the debris, then pull out the putty. You probably already know this. /Butch/Ferndale, WA

some throw away sponges (the 3 for a dollar kind )
tear them up to block holes
put head bolts in
scrap and sand surface
vacuum everything in the end with old wet vac
