As far as the block goes, this is as good as its going to get I feel. The marks remaining seem to be the start of pitting. I used a little spray paint and it revealed they were neither high spots nor low spots.
Looks like it should be assembly time soon!!

Yep. That's my problem. I am so paranoid about doing more damage than good. Scotch Brite can leave ano abrasive dust around that that can damage bearings etc. I tape and plug the drain holes when doing this work but am trying to be careful with making waves in the aluminum as well. Although working by hand would make that tough to do, it can happen.
you should be fine.
