U can not ever be to clean on a good engine build,

If they arent gone I remove cambearings and lots of pluggs, besides the one Dave Wizard says dont need to be removed.

wd is not the best thing to preserve with. They have rust inhibaters that work way better if a long time before assembly is considered. Never put an even warm block in a bag and seal it up!
