that said I would suggest to remove the trap plugs , they get drilled out,
and clean out the oil bores,
tap the ports and install new screw in plugs, clean the crank atleast 3 times,
and use 3 cans of brake cleaner and simple green then a hot water rinse.
Pistons get soaked in simple green for 12 hours to remove the carbon dont use anything more abrasive than a tooth brush to clean the pistons.
NOTE the pistons have a chromium finish that will look dull green.

Thanks for the good info. The crank is perfect so I haven't done anything to it yet. I was considering having it cross drilled. Was going to talk with Greg Brown about exactly what I should do and plan on getting a pan spacer and windage tray.
