put together a list of all the parts I need yet....the number at the end scared me a bit
probably won't be done as soon as I had hoped. unless I can find a cheaper clutch that will work well.
anyway, a few more pictures...
case split:
soaking the halves in the wash tub:
a little SeaFoam and a wire-wheel shined up the pistons real nice
once clean, the scoring on the #2 piston skirt looks better. but still kinda nasty. but doesn't interfere with the ringlands at all....so I don't think it'll be an issue. although does make me happy that I pulled the shortblock apart.
