thanks for the help everyone.
I have a steel gasket for the head(see below). As you can see, there is sealant on the backside of it. What should I use to clean it off, acetone? What kind of selant should I use when I put the new one on?

I am a little worried about the surface of the block. It doesn’t really show up in the pictures, but there are little groves in it where it was milled. I can feel them with my fingernail. I am assuming that there was a nick or something in the blade. Should I have someone look at this for me?

How much should I assemble the rebuild before I put it into the truck? How/where is the best place to hook the hoist to it?
