Started sanding the
intake but didn't have much patience; decided to finish up the
pump side instead (makes no sense
)
Hours of soaking, scrubbing, sanding, wirewheeling, etc.
Replacing the
oil dipstick tube o-rings, top inside tube and bottom one inside block.
Still need to get the
pump brackets off too and get them cleaned up.
Each injectors are wearing a finger of a pandemic rubber glove and a cap. Bus bars came off and I also cleaned the outside of the
cylinder head, filed off some imperfections and touched it up.
Then wiped the block super clean and prepared it for the enamel primer. It is receiving the farm green color
today no matter how late im gonna have to stay up...
and then, finally, the engine paint project will be done...I will then let it cure for multiple days until I get other things cleaned and set up; and prep gaskets, a pump belt etc.
