Took ages and it got to about 50C, good enough. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all torqued and timed up now, and ready to close up. Haha yes it is browner than brown but it's a 370xxxkm engine that was neglected before I got it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a 180L parts washer and everything got washed, rinsed and dried. The engine is back together now, I'll stop for lunch and put it in the car after. I also remembered to install the right rocker cover to suit the coils. I didn't paint it though, so it'll have to stay in primer until dinosaurs roam the earth again.
