Looks like you got a newish crank pulley there--nice.

I woiuld recomend making a point of babying that crank while your engine is taken apart. Unlike a cast crank it can get bent laying around the shop. Making a crate for it would be fantastic otherwise keep it sitting in one of the block halves with the old bearings.

You can get your parts cleaner with brushes then getting them hot tanked will do for you. You'll find a gallon bottle of formula 44 or royal purple and a scrub brush and a parts cleaner brush will get your block cleaner than anything else. Immediately blow the water off with an air gun and spray/wipe your cylinder walls with wd40 or they will rust.

You'll want to go ahead and clean your deck and gasket flanges now too. The best thing to use is surfacing pads on a die grinder. That's basically a scotch brite disc that goes on a rotary tool--usually a die grinder but you could use a drill if you had to.

After you get your machine work done you'll repeat the washing with soapy water, blow it dry and blow out the oil passages, and wipe the cylinders down with wd40 again.
