H/C and other stuff install in progress
H/C and other stuff install in progress thought i share my experiences so far with the install.
i started in the morning today, and stopped at 8pm tonight.
went as far as removing the heads and water pump.
meaning, clearing and removing all i needed to to get to this point.
in our cars, the radiator and A/C cores are a PITA, but i was lucky enough to not have found as difficult.
i am sure the harmonic balancer will make me pay, though. lol
next step should be removing the timing cover, oil pump, crank sprocket, cam.
then clean up before i start installing the new stuff.
i am doing H/C, injectors, ported intake, under drive pulley, pushrods, lifters, and i think that's it. i might be forgetting something. oh, well!
i am beat! lol
PS: oh! what do you guys use to clean the pistons of that black stuff on them? thanks!

It depends how heavy the carbon deposits are on the pistons. I've used a soft / fine wire brush to clean heavy deposits. If they aren't too bad, then some WD40 and scotch-brite should work.
