Disassembly continues....lol as if I don't have enough going on with the other two!!!
I went against some advice about removing the coolant pipes for concern about coolant bolts breaking. I took a chance and took my time, and safely removed all eight bolts...whew!!! There was just too much crud on and around them to try and clean with them still on the engine. So I consider myself lucky with their removal...
Now if only I can remember how it all goes back together, I will be in good shape....lol...
I didn't know what to expect when I removed the pipes, but the inside of the pipes and the IH's where the pipes attach are extremely clean. I thought I might find some residue, etc., I was surprised!!!
Some pics...will look much better after prep & paint...
notice the numbers on the RS pipe, looks like either a #2, letter "Z", or 7-11...
IH side....
too much crud, needs a good cleaning...
