This must be the most boring thread I have made here on this forum...
Pics of the front and rear crank covers along with the first oil pan installed. Note the nice oozing gasket sealer all over the place. I have removed the old seals and I should have the new ones in Thursday. They simply tap in flush and that will be that.
You might also be wondering how I get those bolts so clean. Well it happens the old fashioned way. First I soak them in just enough degreaser then brush them off by hand. Then I throw them in another cleaning bucket and use a mild acid to pull off any stubborn grease. The degreaser gets them pretty clean but a light acid really almost bleaches them clean in a way. Rinse well with water and you got a handful of clean bolts! Now people will really know how anal you are when they see how clean your engine bolts are!
