The best thing about pulling an engine is that you can clean it all up nice so theres no grease on her when you put her back in. Cars lookin good. Also your hands don't look all that dirty so I'm lead to believe that you aren't doing any of the work.

Lol.. I actually wear gloves. And I've done the majority of the work. Brendan has helped with bigger bolts and stuff I can't get lose.
We've already came up with a ton of ideas for cleaning up the wiring

I have these really nice black nitrole (Sp?) gloves.. they're disposable, but I haven't even had them rip on me yet! Got them at the beauty store

Do you believe everything you read Crow??? JK kittay I thought maybe you had cleaned up before you took the picture. How helpful are those mechanics gloves? I have found that when i were gloves I cant feel a whole lot through them so I am constantly taking them off so I can work faster. What kind are the best to buy?

[Blackcrow64]

I've learned to wear gloves so that I don't have black hands for a week after working on my car. lol... Some people use disposable latex gloves, which I also have, whiles others use heavy duty mechanics gloves. I like both, it just depends on what I'm doing.

I've seen those nitrole ones at that hospital before. They are indeed heavy duty ones. I think a box or two might accidently find their way home with me before I quit. lol

[ned032002]

Could you also accidentally ship some to me?

You puss, j/k

Go-Jo works wonders homie....so does Lava soap.

I'm not scared to get my hands dirty, lol. Ive got a nice set of mechanics gloves but the only time I use them is when i'm doing something that may put my hands at risk.

[kittay]

I can never find mechanics gloves that fit

But if you go to a beauty supply store (Like Sally's) you can get a pack of 10 gloves for 3$. I have used the same ones over and over haven't ripped them so I'm happy. They have extra padding on the finger tips, too. Plus you can actually feel what you're touching.

I like to see my hands all greasy and stuff, really makes me feel like I accomplished something. I only use gloves If I don't have to feel my way around or if I'm doing something while my bay is hot.

Got the motor disassembled. Bearings were crap! Getting rid of the front balance shaft and grinding down the rear.

Head looked great

Looks good Kittay!

Mechanics Gloves are the shit, I go through a pair every 3-4 weeks in the summer on the farm. They're thin enough that you can almost always feel what you're touching, except if it's like an 8mm bolt or something, other than that I love them. GoJo and Lava Soap work wonders too though....except for paint, doesn't get that shit off, then I've gotta resort to the damn lacquer thinner and dry the hell out of my hands....boo.

So I just ordered a ton of parts:
SS brake lines, prothane motor mounts, clear cam gear cover, ACL rod/ crank bearings and a fire-retardant jacket
