Today I installed the new pilot bearing, torqued the flywheel etc..
ready to pop the clutch on but with my resurfaced flywheel...don't I need to degrease it or wipe it down or something? maybe it's not that fragile but looks like I need to REALLY make sure it's dry and oil free.
what do u guys use? I was thinking brake cleaner but I figured why not ask the experts.
any tips or any major things u see wrong with this engine looks wise? it's out of our 68 vert. it's just the l36 version.
I tried to make it pretty close to original looking without getting crazy with it and too picky..because the car is a nice original 54k mile car but we just want to drive it
yes I know..the valve covers ne rechromed they're original so I plan to

just noticed I need to paint the water pump bolts orange! speaking of bolts are those bolts on the lower pulley supposed to be black? I'll paint those too while I'm at if it natural isn't correct.
here is a picture of it a few days ago, please understand I'm not having this car judged but want it to look pretty close to original so what finishes etc..am I off on in this pic? thanks

hopefully it will be running in a couple days..I miss driving it here is a pic below before we pulled the engine.
