Good luck on getting it back together.

Question #1: How clean does the surface of the block need to be? Am I close? There are a few spots that do still need some work, but the spots that still look like they have a bit of gasket material left on them are super smooth, can't even catch an edge with my fingernail.

Comments welcome please!

Question #2: what is the proper orientation of the cas? The cam pin is straight up, does the small side need to be up or down?

Thanks in advance!

The block should be spotless. Those areas will come clean. I use a 90* die grinder with a 3m pad.

Honestly, if it were me, I would probably throw the gasket on the way the block looks now. Some people may disagree, but that's just me. Sure you can't get a scotchbrite pad to get the rest off though?
