Motor Tear Down

I started by removing the top end of the motor, and all of the accessories (intake, water pump, fan, A/C compressor, etc.) Once it was at this point, I cleaned it thoroughly, and painted the heads and block. The exhaust manifolds were in need of attention, so I removed them. The driver side manifold had a crack. We purchased a new one from Mid-America, and I sandblasted and re-coated both exhaust manifolds with high-temp manifold coating from Eastwood.
