Travis,
I used ATF mixed with minerial spirits to clean my engine, I think the ATF keeps things from rusting and the minerial does the cleaning.
There are all kinds of assembling grease out there but I use Lubriplate Assembly Grease. It works very well.
After I finished assembling and polishing most of the engine I use Diamond Clear coat from www.eastwood.com for bare metal.
It says it withstand 300 degree F. (will see, I didnt use it on the exhaust manifold.)
I not an expert at restoring Opels but I am a P.h.d.
(Poor - Hungry - Driven)
