could you be a little bit more specific? like:what debris?

You know ... like from the North Atlantic - washed ashore.

From bits of old gasket stuck on the block, carbon round the bores and
associated detritus.
 
To stop stuff getting down waterways use masking tape. you can do the same
with bolt holes, but its easier to put the bolts back in.
for scraping carbon off the piston crowns wipe a lick of grease round the
edge of the piston (at TDC) then scrape into the grease. when finished with
that piston, wipe off then lower it a bit and wipe the bore.

Just what I was hoping for ... top stuff, dude.
Major thanks.
