There is still some work to do on the oil pan.
The intake manifold. It still has some bits of the old paint on it (even after hot-tanking), which we’ll have to remove with a wire wheel.
The harmonic balancer is cleaning up nicely, but it has a groove on the oil seal surface. We’ll have to add a repair sleeve to fix it, which we will do after it’s painted Chevy engine orange.
Howdy!
How ya’ll doing? Good, I hope. Well lately I have been pretty busy. I now work two jobs as a lifeguard. I almost forgot to tell you guys that my dad and I finally removed the windshield from Cora. Getting it out worried me a little bit because there is a huge crack in the windshield, but we managed to remove it successfully and safely.
We also managed to do our very own version of “spring cleaning”. We picked up the garage to get it ready for the engine rebuild, and my dad cleaned some of the parts like the valve covers and the oil pan. Lately, we have mainly just been doing some cleaning work, but that will change very soon!
Thanks for reading! There will be a new post next Sunday. Take care and God bless ya!
