Happy Thanksgiving!
Disassembly is done.
Even the first round of gasket scraping is done as well.
There had been a small oil leak that initially I thought was coming from the valve covers, distributor or oil sender, but it appears I hadn't fully sealed the rear china wall. The Edelbrock intake instructions said to use RTV instead of the cork gaskets, but I guess it wasn't enough RTV. I had suspected something like that so it's a good thing that I pulled the intake anyways. I also want to block the heat crossover this time around.
All this took a bit longer than I anticipated, so the lifters will probably have to wait until Saturday, but I feel like I got a lot done and and now deserve to eat a lot of turkey and other yummy things.
Cheers!
