thanks. *sips coffee with a splash of milk in it*
problem is I know so much more now than I did when I started that the labeling is not the best. parts formerly known as "thing" or "right near the ______" or "just in front of the ______ under the _______" I now know the exact names of .....so this may get interesting....that's why I need to go slow(er).
But I want this friggin thing up and running ......grrrrr!

I was going to say, didn't you take pics of everything? Seems like you did for later reference.
Amazing how much you have learned from tackling the impossible.

I'm catching up now that my Percocet blur is gone. I ran into the same issue labeling. I didn't know what everything is called in the FSM, and still don't. I got pretty creative, and months later wondered what exactly I had meant by "bottom hose on ugly thing on fender" or whatever. The saving grace was pictures taken while labeled but before removing. Very helpful. An example:
Also, take pictures of your bags or bagged bolts pointing to where they go. Makes it easy to match up descriptions and parts:
I also took some shots of parts taken off at each stage with labeled baggies next to them:
I hadn't thought of holding a labeled baggie up next to the part until I saw someone else had done it. Seems so simple, and it's a great way to keep things matched up, but until someone mentions it...
Take lots of pictures of everything along the way. Don't forget some wider overview shots, which are helpful later for figuring out how hoses or wires were routed, the order you took things apart, etc. You can't take too many pictures.

I am cussing myself right now for not doing a better job labeling my wiring harness. I did put tape on everyone with a number that coresponds with where it goes, but a few of my labels have fallen off or got smeared with grease & are not readable. I guess the lesson is to take your time & be patient when you take stuff apart.

I really am glad that I lapped mine, it was pretty easy, didn't cost very much & I think I will see good results from it. You couldn't tell until you took them out but my exhaust valves where nasty. I had to lap the crap out of them to get a perfect finish.

today's list is very short....clean the top of the block and finish cleaning the head bolt holes.
1 sick kid home from school today, so not sure what's going to be going on today.
and since cleaning those bolt holes is such a royal pain, I am chunking a day to that. since I don't have an air compressor, I'm thinking of using carb cleaner to clear out the dry stuff.....a quick PFFFFT of the stuff ought to eject it out of the holes.

I did the same thing with the carb cleaner, just use the red straw & it should have enough pressure to blow out most of the dry stuff, then maybe a shop vac to clear the holes?

and saran wrap the top of the block to keep the crap out.
Ive found running a head bolt oozes the oil out....repeated several times of course. and then i took a little screwdriver like the one you use to fix glasses and scraped loose stuff.
