Not making any admission here.....but be sure not to mount it up-side-down too!If you take it off, do remember to re-mount it before you hoist it in to the bay. I did not and that was possibly the hardest part of the whole job!
Hey Don. Jeff mentioned you were able to get the inside galley plugs out of your motor. One of mine is a slotted screw type and doesn’t want to move. Any thoughts. Here is a pic of the oneI've been distracted the past few days, because of some new things going on (vehicles) here, and some resulting changes. That's all a long story, for another thread, when I get caught up... (HA!)
But today, I finally got back to this engine for a while. I was anxious to see how the oil pump looked inside - to see if there was anything visible there which might give any clue about what caused the spun bearing problem. But it was all normal inside - eveything all "in spec."

Then, back to the Block... I finished up cleaning out the bores, from that recent honing - and masked off the block, while we're having warm (50°) sunny weather. Got it all cleaned up, and got it painted.

I also got paint on several other parts - filler tube, timing cover, tappet cover, etc. Time permitting, I'll get the cylinder head and some other stuff painted tomorrow, after the turkey.
Why silver? I don't know.... I like the look better than black. I was going to paint it dark green, but The Bride told me to use silver again. And @JABJEEP once said he liked the look. Good enough!
The Machine Shop called this afternoon, too, and the crank is now turned and ready. I'll pick that up on Friday.

How ironic. I was admiring the silver color before I read the above. I was also wondering if that was the stock color.Why silver? I don't know.... I like the look better than black.

See? We need one for the engine. Collect the whole series, engines, transmission, differentials, heck maybe with enough pre-orders the manufacturer might print Fixing Rusty Door Bottoms shirts?
Then we could insert them in the re-prints for of factory service manuals and actually have useful, readable part/assembly diagrams.See? We need one for the engine.
