7 port head con.....Engine out and strip down....
Hi..Folks... I have taken My engine out and stripped it down ready for this.....
so I made these as to get trolley jack under Box......
took an hour to remove exhaust
engine on its way out.....
gave the engine a quick coat of soapy water paste and then a power wash
then a coat of this amazing stuff...and another wash.....
and start the strip down.....
and My parcel arrived today.....so un packed it.....
so next stage is to power wash the block and G/box....ready for rebuild....

Individual cylinder throttle bodies, my man! Great minds think alike, I love it. Including the fact that you are stripping the engine apart in a gravel driveway, lol, I'm sure some white glove wearing only-works-on-perfectly-clean-and-sanitary-surface suit is flippin **** at these pictures. Good on you, man, this looks like one helluva kick *** project. Thanks for taking the time to take photos and share! I can't wait to see it put together and hear what it sounds like!

Looking Great! Can't wait to see it put back together.
I'm quite a bit away from being able to pull an engine like this.... How long did it take you to get all of the equipment necessary to do this? For someone who is new to trying to do things himself, how long did it take you to feel comfortable to take the engine out yourself? I'm always the type to put it back together and end up with an extra bolt or two... I'd be scared to do this to the engine alone. (Mind you, I've been working with computers most of my life, cars are still new. I was scared to even replace a CV joint)
