Whelp... shop lent me the ring compressor and the circlip pusher. But they need them back Friday morning.

Cylinders and pistons are ready on my bench, and I'll have to do this tomorrow.

What do you recommend as a strategy? Pistons in cylinders on the bench and install the pair at once? Or put pistons on rods first, and then slide cylinders over?

The compressors I have are a sleeve with a clasp, and a solid-piece ring with a lip.

The black ring tool and a couple of circlip insertion tools have been amazing. The shop lent them to me and this morning in just over an hour I put one piston and cylinder completely on and prepped three more pistons and cylinders. So I'm hopeful that tonight I can get the rest of them on in about 2 hours and get the shop back their tools for the Friday work day.

Successful night! Those tools are amazing.
Also, these engines are so beautiful!

Getting ready to put back on the engine tins on my path to assembling heads and cam towers.

What is the recommended prep for the airflow tins? I saw some folks painting them in Cerokote, which looks fairly expensive. I also have no paint gun. Should I just clean them really well? Paint them with something else after cleaning?

Paint and subassembly

Semi gloss black high temp rattle can works. This is how I do heads and cam carrier, cam and rockers.

Are you painting the exterior surfaces of the heads and such? Looking at my old parts, the only obvious paint/coat was the valve covers and I think the tins.

Rattle can paint on clean cylinder dividers, don’t paint aluminum as it’s a becomes an insulator.

Sounds good! My challenge right now is getting the dividers clean from 25 years of oily grime and a little bit of rust.

I'm considering if I need to find a way to sandblast them or such. Used an entire can of brake cleaner and they still aren't clean enough to paint.

Go to the china store, harbor freight, they have little brushes with metal bristles that works well in the bend area.
Work in a bucket with a gallon of kerosene
