For some reason this page got overwritten last week when I updated the site and the pictures of the cleaned engine block were missing.  Here then, are the pictures of the engine block looking a lot cleaner after spending some time in the solvent tank.

It was very satisfying to clean off the years of oil and crud that coated the entire engine block.  It's looking a little cleaner and a lot nicer now.

My next step will be to remove the liners so that I can clean the area around the studs and the water passages.  The liners are in there pretty good, I hope I'm able to get them out without having to resort to a hydraulic press.

Ciao!
