More progress.
I started scraping the block to clean off the old gasket and made some progress. Going to keep cleaning it tonight. My razor blade isn't working too too well but I also have a 1500-grit sanding block that should help out as well.
- Lower timing cover is installed AND torqued down.
- New crank bolt is installed (torque spec of 300 ft-lbs, DJ's wrench stops at 250... we got it to 250 and he spun it another 30* with a breaker bar)
- Crank pulley re-installed
- Water pump and WP pulley re-installed
- Auxiliary fan re-installed
- Bumper re-installed
- New knock sensors installed
