clean and paint the block while you are at it. If you can get the block hot tanked. Best of luck though, its real easy to do if you have the right tools and equipment.

pulling motors on these cars is a cake walk.. do what i did so you know where every plug goes quickly and mark them with masking tape and numbers of different colors so you dont have to go past 10.. or jsut write what they go to if you cant mark the thing they plug to. no big. makes life easy. i didnt get a chance to cleean my motor when out.. but still nothing in it so when i remove the intak and exhaust mani to put turbo parts on imgonna clean it then.
