Engine Cleaning

So I bead blasted my kz1000 engine. It turned out pretty good but I disassembled the engine to check for any beads that snuck in, good thing I did because there was some in the cam chain tunnel in the jug. That of course spread from being moved around and taken apart.

I've been using wd-40 to spray it out but some still sticks to leftover oil and the walls. Anybody have any light on this?

You have no choice but to totally strip the engine to clean it out properly or risk wrecking it on start up.
