Pieces of steel in cylinder??

Quick question for those still following: With the engine removed, what else would you do maintenance-wise that would be easier before putting it back in? I see some bushings in the front end that need to be done, so that's a no brainer, and the front tranny seal is leaking. Anything else? I know I need to pull the instrument cluster (and/or dash) to fix my fuel/water temp gauges, would that be any easier with the motor out?

Look at the K member very close. Most look like they had a drunk monkey on a 10 day coke binge do the welding. It's nice to clean it up while the engine is out.

Also, if you haven't rebuilt the front end, now is the time to do it.

If the wiring harness has be cobbled together by the local meth head, clean that up while the engine is out.

Dare I say...black out the engine bay.





















Ok. Had to get away from that. Maybe your engine bay is blacked out and you don't like it. Time to put it back to body color.
