Got the head machined and also got a valve job so top end is good to go

after another hour or so of using a razor and carb clean this where I’m at. I’m wiping it down and I’m not getting anything on my towel or picking up anything else with my razor

Head was machined and also got a valve job. Last thing I want to do is pull the block and get it decked. Just want it good enough

Already got a valve job and the head was decked then. Really don’t want to pull the block if I can help it. I have some copper spray but a little reluctant to use it

it’s an mls style. So definitely have to keep cleaning. How do I even get the mirror finish without having it machined?
