BTW, no ridges on any of the cylinders, in fact I can still very clearly see the factory cross hatch!

Are you going to paint the engine while you have it out? If so what color?

when I started taking it apart in the truck my back was giving me hell so I said "**** it" and decided to remove the bad boy. Besides, will be easier to degree the cam, install heads, rod bolts etc. It took longer to build the freakin cherry picker and engine stand than it did to pull and mount that sucker

I have to run down to the Base this morning, but basically today is a cleaning day. Any recommendations or helpful hints?
