2nd Cleaning Pass
KL #581163 is coming into focus.
I got the harmonic balancer off by bracing a flywheel bolt against a crowbar wedged inside the engine stand arms.
With that in place, an air wrench made quick work of the balancer bolt.
Also: Dodged a bullet. The right side engine mount got bent in the accident, and 2 of its bolts bent, with the 3rd one shearing completely. Fortunately there was JUST enough meat protruding for me to be able to extract it from the block with some channel locks…
Timing covers removed:
I’ll probably do one more pass with the Simple Green & powerwasher. It’s a lot of work getting the scrubber down in all those crevices. Wish I could just hot-tank the thing, but… Oh well. It’ll have some “patina,” I guess, haha.
