31) Clean up on isle EJ

Corny I know, but anyways... A few shots of current progress. I used some foamy engine bright, and some brushes to clean as much of the dirt and crud away. For future reference, get an engine that is A) Almost new, or B) Not from the North East. This thing was dirty!



Valve covers after a good clean and a little work with a 3M scuff pad.



New water pump! I will be replacing as much as I can without taking apart the long block (for now). I just want to get everything in the car and mocked up enough to start it, and possibly drive it for a bit to work out the bugs. If the rings are worn, or head gaskets need attention, I will have a fun project for next winter!
