putting back together engine after spun bearing

[TNTDSM7777]

So I have the engine taken care of. I was just wondering about the cleaning process of putting the engine back.... I really don't want it to spun again by a stupid mistake. What do I need to clean besides the turbo and the oil pan... I know to use brake cleaner... I will use change The filter and the oil ten minutes after startup

First off has the crank and rods been remachined. and you'll want to make sure the oilpump and pick up are clean as well. just my 2 cents

Ya everything has been machine... the block is all taken care of... I just want to know about oil lines and such... will I have to worry about them or will the filter get them at startup? I got a grand new oem oil pickup and new oil pump

the filter catches most of it. you have the right idea you seem like youve done you research.

I have definitely read up on it. Just making sure I don't skip anything. Really don't want to spin another bearing because of those shavings

"After the engine has fully warmed up and run for 15 to 20 minutes, shut it off. Drain the oil and change the filter. This should remove any loose debris that might have made its way into the system during the build. If you have a turbo with an internal wastegate, you may choose to remove the actuator before driving the car. This will keep you from building any boost. Start the engine again and let it fully warm up. Find an empty stretch of road and do a 30 to 50 mph run and compression brake back down to 30 mph. Keep the car in the lowest gear that will keep you below 4k RPM max. Keep the car in the low gear during the compression braking to pull a lot of vacuum. Do this repeatedly for the next 20 miles. Now, drive in stop and go traffic for the next 200 miles. Stay off the interstate. Use your gears and vary the engine RPM when cruising, still keeping under 4k RPM. Compression brake when possible. Don't lug the engine in a high gear. When you hit 220 miles, change the oil and filter again. Use cheap dino oil again. Do the same stop and go traffic crap until you hit 620 total miles. Just change the oil this time (cheap dino oil). Do the stop and go traffic thing again, but mix in some highway cruising if you have to. When you hit 1,020 miles, change your plugs and do a compression test. If everything looks good, you can put the wastegate actuator back on (but keep the boost low). Change the oil and filter again with cheap dino oil. Drive in mixed stop and go traffic and interstate cruising until you hit 1,520 total miles. Now, you can change the oil and filter with full synthetic or whatever you would normally use. If everything seems to be running well, you are free to drive the car how you want now. Full boost, rev limit, whatever it was built to handle. Have fun and keep it between the lines!" _ corbin from 2gnt.com

Thats was a lot of good information. Thanks .. I don't have a boost controller right now for it so I will have to run full boost after putting back on the aculator. Would that be ok?
