I thought I would post a few pics explaining part of my process of rebuilding an engine.

First I disassemble everything, put the block, backplate, head, and take the front bearing out and pop the seals off. next I wash everything in a high pressure hot alkalai cleaner. I have seen pictures and video's from other shops that rebuild motors and have not seen any kind of cleaner in the shops. It is very important to have everything clean! In the other pic I am showing the bore guage I check the rod with, each number is one thousandth, so it reads down to .0001.
