More Parts Cleaning


Time in Garage: 2 hours

Sprayed brake cleaner on the block areas that I have been working on...the block cleaned up well...sanded the distributor side in prep for painting....went back to the transmission for additional cleaning...There is some kind of black material on the casing...perhaps some type of undercoating or road tar...takes a while to clean off for sure...

Put the oil pan bolts and washers in the Eastwood tumbler and cleaned them up..

I decided to purchase a new oil pump pick up screen-ordered yesterday and added to the existing order..

My wife asked me last night how I was doing out n the garage and was I making progress...I said "well" and I was making progress..I explained briefly what I was doing and that I hoped to have the drive train reinstalled and the chassis ready by the end of February..I figured this would give me the 60 hours I have estimated for the job taking into account Christmas and my winter vacation and the kitchen reno I am assisting my daughter with at the end of January..she looked somewhat skeptical...I am not surprised...
