So, I had to buy a replacement camshaft cap for the tachometer drive (since my broke) for my '79 DOHC CB750, had it checked for clearance and alignment at a reputable machine shop. The technicians have said that the cap will do and now I am in the process of putting together the head on the engine. Also, I got a valve job done too with new seals (valves were rusty and leaky). My question now is:
1. Given the work done, will it require a specific break in procedure? If yes then what would be the right way to do it?
2. I have done my best at cleaning the cylinder block surface using a scrub pad and WD40. The end result is not shiny clean but the surface is smooth and clean enough to not feel any undulations on my fingers. Any thing else I can do? Was that the right way to do it? Plan on doing the same for the head surface.
3. The pistons have carbon on the tops. I plan on reassembling the engine with the carbon as is since I do not have a scraper that's gentle enough for the Aluminum. That ok?
4. Anything else I need to pay attention to? Does then oil pump gasket need sealant?
Thanks in advance!
And here are some pics of the cylinder block surface:
