Bahama Yellow, with engine hot, drain the oil and take a clean sample to your local CAT dealer. They'll analyze the oil and let you know from the report if there is any foreign material found such as a silica, high iron content, etc. I just rebuilt my 69 2.0 also a bahama yellow car. used a flex hone and then spent about 10 minutes per cylinder cleaning with Tide.
Remove all residue until your white shop towel is clean. The analysis will also give you a sense of the cleanliness of your rebuild. Just a side note. Let us know what your analysis uncovers.
