How did you clean out all of the metal debris?

This is the MOST important factor in rebuilding an engine that had already started to fail.

Good point here. Lots of folks use ultrasonic and say it's the best. They are likely correct but I've had parts come back broken after sending them out for work so I clean the parts myself. A rare earth magnet is very effective at pulling ferrous chips off aluminum.
