Thanks Gadge. Going to sand blast the block tomorrow. Will be sure to wash it down with some hot water and shampoo; before priming and painting. Been a bit busy so only managed to clean and polish the valves.

Ran out of media (garnit), so I went and purchased a 25kg bag of 30-60. The parts I needed arrived from Amazon, but bloody forgot about the piston rings. Will end up replacing them after opening the crankcase to swap over the crankshafts. Crossing my fingers because I won't know if the crankshafts are the same until this point. Pics of the polished valves.
