The cam bearings in the 360 are shot. So instead of buying a cam bearing installation tool for $200 I am sending the block to the shop for oven baking (they don't "hot tank" anymore) and installing the cam bearings.

I've heard the oven baking doesn't work AS well as hot tanking. I've already cleaned the block when it was assembled and painted it, but after I disassembled it I noticed spots I've missed.

So should I scrub it again, and remove the gaskets that are stuck on??

Or does the oven baking work just as well??

What block prep work should I do before I send it off??

It's already disassembled to a bare block, but the main caps are reinstalled.

I'm planning on reassembling it at the house. Should I be good to go??
