I hope you didn't waste too much time with taping off the intake ports. Mine wasn't dirty, so I didn't even vacuum. Just pull off the old, plop on the new.

Good luck with the rest.

Blew the whole engine off with air hose before dis-assembly.
Taped and plugged all engine openings.
Vaccumed everything

Same here ... I just did it. I think I did stuff towels in the front cylinders when the grinding began.
