what you can do is take one of the old head bolts. then take a angle grinder with a thin disc and cut 2 or even 3 lines in the threads, from bottom to top. then run that bolt in and out of all the blocks threaded holes.
did this on my 3800. worked like a charm. theres vids on yt, search diy thread cleaner.
That is what I did today. I used an old bolt. I be was just concerned willthat it get it all out the going.
Tomorrow going to run the camera in each hole.
I was able to get threads cleaned out. I got blocked cleaned. I set the main bearings in the crank underside and top caps on. Will check clearances this week on crank bearings. Then ring gaps and connecting rod bearings. It feels to be making progress. I am not rushing and taking my time to get it back together.
