Have fun. I'm almost finished with mine.

Why did you pull the head first?

 

ditto, and the rods/pistons?

Why not pull it all out at once?

i pulled the head off with the manifolds. I wanted to see the pistons/rods before i pulled block. i knew the tap was coming from 2nd cylinder and wanted to check it out. i pulled everything out today. Ill post pics in a bit
