Week 16

Another productive day. Got the exhaust manifolds off, lost two studs (one was already broken) so I'm not complaining there. Removed and stored the push rods (marked so that they can be put back were they came from) and got the heads off. I was interested to find that the two rear bolts on each head were significantly looser than the others. This couldn't have helped engine performance at all. Cylinder walls are nice and smooth, no scoring and no noticable wear. Just carbon build up on the pistons.







Also got the master cylinder and booster off.


Oh yeah, got my workbench built Saturday. It's for light duty (no engine blocks here) but better than nothing.
