new motor

[supramacist]

I spent countless hours on mine. Either way will get it done. You may try some castrol super clean but be advised it's strong stuff.

well i took it apart to see what the block and head looked like. the head gasket in my opionon looked fine, i cant tell where it blew. so my guess is the bolts streched to much. there is a pretty good amount of sludge to MMMMM sludge stinks like poo

[supramacist]

That's the worst head and block I have ever seen after being broken down.

I would buy the economy sized jug of PB Blaster and hose that thing down totally twice a day for a week then wipe it down and see how much of that rust comes off of it and repeat until satisfaction occurs.

mmm engine degreaser for the pistons and other sluged areas

[west_side_supra]

well i tried to clean it got the pistons and got most of the old head gasket off

[IHateHacks]

Where was this engine sitting prior to you taking it apart? It looks like water filled up a couple of the cylinders. Those rusty cylinder walls do not look good.

What did you use to clean the pistons? I used a whiz wheel on mine but I couldn't get in all the grooves on the pistons. Yours look brand new. But I also used it on the block surface and it took all the old gasket material off and polished it up really good.

so the items i should probably get for the cleaning process
castrol super stuff
pb blaster
dremel pencil shaver
and high grit paper
oh and a new wire brush because the one im useing is almost finished with.

and what is TDC?

[IHateHacks]

TDC= Top Dead Center. Its a term used to describe the position of the No.1 piston at the top of it stroke.

But I have no clue what he is talking about, relocating TDC?? You got me......

And using a wire brush on the cylinder walls would be the worst possible thing you could do.
