Thumbs up

So many people forget to steam clean their engine before they work on them I tell ya it helps tremendously getting as much oil muck and dirt off before you start tearing it down.

A few cans of engine spray cleaner also helps


I will say finding a spray cleaning booth is getting hard to find for some reason only one in my AZ location in CA we had many booths available.


Looks good jondakotaguy

What's next?

Keep up the good work, just be careful not to spill that water (in your second last pic) into your engine!!

Fighting the good fight! .... When you get done, I'll drive my 4.7 over and you can start on that. It will be twice the fun.
