The yuk on the outside is not as big a problem as the crud build up in your water jackets/passages and oil passages etc. Replay that water pump and oil pump too while your at it, cheep and easy to do now.

the machineshop that bored my block had it around 10 times in a special bath to get the old oil and other stuff out.
oilpump is already overhauled , waterpump will be a new one or maybe refreshed.
The shop also installed new cam bearings and they alligned my new cam and polished it.

When I did my rebuild, I got a lil paraniod with my oil pump -new high vol- pickup tube and welded a small bracket to fit under one of the mounting bolts for the pump just to be sure it never works it's way out. Probably never happens, but I'm just not comfy with a force-fit for something so important. ------------------

Die richtige Wort ist BLING, nicht blink.
Gerne helfen, wenn ich kann.
Cover der Aluminum mit Glanz transparente Farbe.
Später wird es schlecht aussehen, wenn Sie nicht
Wärme-und Sauerstoff wird der Angriff nackt Aluminum so muss sie mit klaren Farben[This message has been edited by randye (edited 11-30-2008).]
