You can ask others on the list, but I usually send the block and crank into
a machine shop to be sure the cylinders are round, the crank journals are
round, and to have them boil the crank and block to remove all internal crud
you can't get at. The boiling process will dissolve the camshaft/jackshaft
bearings and you will need to replace them. You can go a lot farther in the
machine shop, but that is all I have ever needed to have them do.
When you get the block back from the machine shop it will be ready for paint
and assembly.

Thanks for all the replies to my posting.
Seems I got what I needed. The only parts that I got that had H20 on them
were the bearings. I will begin trying to re-assemble my engine this week.
If I remember the disassembly correctly, I still will need to locate a water
pump and a water outlet elbow off the right front of the engine. I'm sure
the "Vendors" will be able to get me what I need.
I'm thinking I should wash and paint the block/oil pan before I begin any
assembly work. I've never had an engine down this far before so I'm sure
I'll have alot more questions before long.
Thanks again for all the info.
