Thanks Jared for bringing up bad memories lol.I'd be real careful what you get muriatic acid on with respect to plastic or sensors, like the knock sensors down on the side of the block. I would wire brush it. Wipe it down with lacquer thinner, tape it up, prime it and paint it. If you use the Duplicolor Engine Enamel, don't spray in high humidity. It has a tendency to blush, especially the gloss black. Ask me or Scott how we know.
That's with about any engine though. I've seen regular ole small blocks get machined, but not cleaned up enough. Next thing you know the motor has a few hours of run time and ruined bearings!i dont know much about ls. read an article about a few people sandblasting valve cover to paint or powdercoat n then sand gets trapped n pcv system and can destroy motor putting sand into oil. just figured id add that in
