Day 4

Today I had a couple of hours of free time so I used it usefully.

I removed the side cover and a hole bunch of bits too. See below...

Side cover gone and timing chain and guides removed.



Pulled the head off once all the bolts and hoses were removed. I left the Cossy attached because the bolts I used are a PITA to remove and get at. If you own a Cossy then you know what I'm talking about.




Now you can see whats left to come out since the head is no longer there.


The cylinders are looking good but the felpro head gasket doesn't look all that good around the smaller coolant ports. The blue on the gasket lifted off of the metal... no damage caused from this and everything was sealed too.


Removed most of the hoses and I found some of them no longer holding a circular structure causing restricted flow. I am going to be upgrading all the hoses with Stainless Steel for look and durability.


Starter is removed to access the flex plate and bolts to the torque converter.



All the bolts removed from the torque converter and I started to remove bolts from the engine block and tranny but then I had to take off on a call.

More for another day...
