In case no one noticed I love taking pics...took some more of the progress. Valve covers are prepped as well as the spark plug cover. Also sandblasted the intake manifold. Trying to clean up as much as possible

Engine bay received a major degreasing it was disgusting. Lots of oil sludge from leaking headgasket and bad valve cover gaskets. Maybe tomorrow I may be able to prep the bay for some primer. On a side note...If anyone is looking for a Stock W58 flywheel or an ACT Clutch Kit for a W58 6 Puck sprung with 777 miles let me know as I more than likely will not be going back to a W58.
