Today was a pretty successful day I'd say. I finally got the crank out so I can clean it. Is there anything wrong with letting is sit in parts cleaner for a day and then high pressure washing it?
I also grinded and/or sandblasted my driveshaft (after pressing the U-joints out to make way for the new ones), alternator mount, alternator, water pump, water pump spacer plate, fuel pump, pulleys, pulley plates, harmonic balancer, and driveshaft yolk. Tomorrow I have a lot of crap going on, but I want to start painting this stuff. Should I go with silver or black on the driveshaft? I'm thinking rustoleum matte black because I already have some of that here on the farm! ^_^
a pretty sight...
how should i clean this dirt off the journals?
old rope seal. Being replaced with graphite impregnated one.
