Right on Sweaty! Keep up the good work!

I'm jealous of the articulation you get with your OME setup! Your truck wheels so nice.

Im back! It looks like ill be taking out the 2H out of my 60 this weekend! Does anyone have any links or info for things to watch out for when removing my engine?

Why are you taking it out? It's heavy, be careful? That's all I got.
When you drain the radiator, remember to drain the block too. I take masking tape and label with a sharpie
both ends of every connection, cause if memory serves I always forget where everything goes.

Thanks for the info!
Im taking it out to work on next January as part of my Marine Engineering Program at BCIT! Perhaps even a touch of tubonium too...

You're taking out now to work on in January??
Then buy a box of ziplocks, and make sure you label everything, I mean even the smallest
of plastic fittings, screws etc. Impossible to remember and it will make reinstalling much more
manageable.
Instead of writing 'blower motor' on each side of a plug ( as an example ) just use an alphabet 'A'/
So long as you have 'A' here, and 'A' there it doesn't matter what it does. Just easier to match connections.
Drain all hydraulics, brakes, PS and clutch. If you can blow through with air. Some of these fluids
are corrosive and will eat components up from sitting. flush heater empty if you can, too.
