Oil Pan and Engine Clean Up

Time in Garage: 2 1/2 hours

I finished cleaning up the oil pan including a primary sanding of the finish for final painting. Next I turned my attention to the engine block cleaning the distributor side of the block along with the timing cover area. I have decided to remove the water pump for painting and replacement of the gaskets which I ordered yesterday.

I also inspected the fender beads (on Friday) and determined they are pretty ratty for reinstallation so I decided I would take the new ones offered me at a 30% discount from my supplier.

I am still researching the need to solder the oil inlet screen...
