Used pillow foam to block the runners and would vacuum everything before removing that. As a final, I used 6" QTips dipped in Vaseline to clean up any burrs by the valves.
Yep! Same here ^^^, except I did remove the secondary plates at that time as I went to 37mm on the plenum and runners. So, a little port match on the secondary runner was needed, and a quite a bit more on the primary side, of course.

Engine covered w/ plastic shower curtain. Only the port being worked on exposed (see ball gauge used to check clearance into the head(s).



Oiled, blue shop towels (x2) stuffed into the bottom of the ports to catch debris.
