In addition to rags in the cyl's use a shop vac next to the sander pad as you go.
Furgot about my porter cable random orbit, prolly work just fine.
looking at those pics, that motor looks just fine, a little clean up of cylinder walls and top deck,
most of the water jacket holes look clean, (at least in the pics), I'd button it up and drive,
Just clean it up without removing the pistons or anything? That would certainly be the easiest, if I can get the crud out of the bores.
