You need to take some pics of what you have going on man.
I don't want you making any major mistakes and if you aren't hitting the block in equal proportions. You're bound for trouble..
Use the feeler gauges and the level. Sand as hard as you want as long as you do it even. You can't skip big slots in sandpaper grade.
You have to start heavy and go lighter, lighter and lighter still.
I spent 3 weeks lapping my block, because I'm so anal. You just got started. If you're trying to sand blemished areas, all you are doing is digging after those areas making your total trip much further than it has to be.
Sand the block till it's smooth and then smoother and smoother.
If you take your time and stop rushing you'll see just what I mean.
