Once you get the liners back in the engine block, before you put the cam bearings in, I can heartily recommend pulling the Welsh plugs out of the block and having the thing hot tanked. As you have changed the liners you will be able to clean all the silt out of the water jackets, but hot tanking makes a massive difference.

I had mine hot tanked, and the engine ran cool even in 30 degree heat (until we sat in traffic for long periods anyway)

Good luck with it all, I am envious of you.
