I also washed and touched up the underside of my hood.

Then I painted the lower part of the firewall that only had overspray from the factory. I figured spray paint would be fine under the hood out of the weather. It actually matched fairly well.

Spent two hours with a bucket of Dawn dish soap water and rags washing the engine bay.

My main bearings are pretty rough. I'll post more soon of my semi-cleaned engine parts and my clean engine bay. I'm waiting for pistons to get here before dropping the block off, that way they can bore it to exact measurement. Thanks for looking!

I don't have any pics of the block, but It's a little too out of round and too tapered, so I'm having it bored .020 over by the O'rielly's machine shop.

Crankshaft and cam were both borderline within specs on journal diameter, but the clearance was good and should be even better with new bearings so I'm not going to worry about it.

This is the head where the cam journals ride. I think it could look a little better, but I checked it with Plastigauge and it was within specs.

I even numbered the head bolts with a center punch to be sure they go back in the original order.

A good example of my overlabeling even the simplest parts. It sure can't hurt to do the extra work now.

Dirty dirty.....the spacers on the stand were too long for my bolts. I had to cut them down.

Scarred main bearings, I'm sure this happened on the ride home after the plastic chain guides came apart and the oil became filled with metal. I ordered the kit tonight.

It measured just withing specs on journal diameter, as did the camshaft.

This is the head where the cam rides. Visually I don't think it looks great, but when I checked it with plastigauge it checked out.

I'm sure this is also unnecessary but I marked head bolts with a center punch to ensure they go back to the same places they came from.

My careful labeling of even the obvious parts. I figure it cant hurt to be too thorough.

Some more reference pics. I uploaded only a small fractions of them.

My belling housing-to-engine bolts were too short to reach through the spacers on my stand so I chopped the spacer in half. I figured I can always put it back on like a washer if I need it for a different motor.

I was waiting for a friend to get off work so I could borrow his cherry picker so I removed the lower intake manifold.
