Jim,
Your full-face helmet works just great for doing this job. Keeps the chips
from getting in your hair, your ears, dropping down your shirt, etc., etc.
I had the same problem you describe until I started using my helmet.
By the way, I also drilled the block of my 289 to match the "steam holes"
for the 351 heads. The addition of these holes lends some credibility to
the notion of steam in the block. At the very least, they would purge the
air out of the block a little faster.
