im going to have my engine out, on a stand and i want to clean it up a bit. actuly alot. i want it to be very clean but i know aluinium oxidizes over time. is there a clear coat that i can put on it prior to install?

There is a product called zoop. Its meant to be a clear over polished aluminum. I don't see why it wouldn't work on a clean aluminum finish.

make sure you have all the holes to the engine blocked of with some kinda tape or rags, like the intake and exh

totally. i dont want to do this again.

will those little yellow 3m disks that you can put on a diegrinder work for a general prep? to remove the oil and baked on coolant

A verry soft stainless steel wire wheel on a dril will do wonders on aluninum.
