Everythings intack, and the bottom of the head is resting on a nice soft piece of cardboard. We'll get to that another day as far as cleaning and checking/inspecting the head, I've set it aside for now I'm focusing cleaning and preping the block and bolt holes. I'm using brake cleaner to remove all the oil from inside the wells and from the gasket area. And I'm using the blue scotch pad to gently clean the gasket area

Just some progress pics, the timing belt btw is secured with tape so it wont drop down, so at this point in the process everything should be intack as far as the timing. Am I right?

Now remember guys this is the work of a first timer, and at this point in the process, I'm so excited and thrilled about what I'm seeing...wow I've never removed and engine head before lol. One thing I'm experiencing with this Lancer is there's a first time for everything, and, you learn something new everyday. Guess that's 2 things.

Here you can see what the alternator tensioner adjuster officially turned out to look like hehe. But anyway this pic shows how I'm trying/hoping/praying the timing doesn't get messed up. I used some paint to mark on the pulley and belt. I did this on the front side here and on the back also. So if the belt doesn't move, and the pulleys don't move, the timing should stay the same right?

Here's a closer look, for some reason the threads of this one bolt is covered in a really thick milky substance...very interesting. And what is more is it literally stinks. I has a real stinky smell to it. Definitely smells like something different. Could be some kind of a sealant. But it's only on this one bolt, all other bolts are clean(only covered in oil of course)
