PRogress on the Engine rebuild....

[Zumo]

Well, slowly but surely, I am replacing my old broke motor (see pic) with a reman. I bought. I really don't have the money right now for a full resto so I am just trying to clean up a few things for my new(rebuilt) motor install. Once I get the motor painted and asembled, it will be the cleaned part of the whole truck. I figure I'll just do a piece at a time.

Anyway since I have the engine out I decided to clean up the oil and muddy mess left behind by the old motor. I can't really get to all areas with out totaly disassembling the front in so I am doing what I can for now. Should I repaint it or put some sort of coating? What about the areas I can't get the grease out? One of many dilemas.

What I am doing is removing and painting the fender wells. I also decided to rattle can the outside of the truck with a Krylon satin paint. I am using it insted of primer. Seems to work ok and it's not glossy at all.

Oh also check out the last pic. It's my tranny with a pretective shield of mud and dirt. Going to clean that up and replace the filter.
