big_rob: You can get Rolocs at most auto-parts stores such as NAPA. They come in various grits. I suggest you get a coarser one for cast iron and go finer with aluminum.

About using an air tool such as a die grinder, be careful when using a Roloc that the exhaust air doesn't blow a lot of junk into the rocker area. That's why a bulkier drill motor might be best when working on your assembled engine.

Use a vacuum as suggested, but just be careful not to suck up a rag or shop towel while you're at it.
