My repaired cylinder head is now ready to go back onto my bike which has sat it a garage for a couple of months. Would I be wise to give the exposed piston head and barrel a clean, I was thinking petrol. Is there anything I should avoid using. Any other rebuild tips gratefully accepted - it'd been a while since I messed with engines.

I don’t know if REs are anything different, but if it has been exposed to air, there maybe some light rusting. Clean this off. Nothing too abrasive. Then afterwards personally I would give the bore a light wipe round with some fresh engine oil. This will burn off very quickly at start up. Don’t go too mad with the oil, just a film.
