[Roadsters] Removing the cam

The machinist that I trust the most always recommended washing everything 
down with hot soapy water, blowing out/off with air, then oiling.  That is 
to get rid of the metallic dust that settles while the parts are sitting in 
the shop after coming out of the cleaner.
