Now to get the pan back off, remove the fuel pump and starter so I can power wash all the sludge out
Edit. Also remove freeze plugs too

That plunger was used on the db2 IP equipped engines. That yellow arrow splash thingy is for timing the IP

Got it all stripped down and washed up. and Boy did I make a huge mess!! wheeled it outside and the power washer plastered all that crud everywhere including covering me too! gave it a good blow job with my compressor, wheeled it back inside and coated the cylinders and crank area with some WD-40. I have it clean enough were I can remove the lifters and not get all that gummy goop all over.
Yeah the chain is loose, it will need to be replaced. I haven't taken it off yet, not till I have the new one here. the block still needs more cleaning, I am thinking about filling my pump sprayer with some diesel and using that with a small wire brush and a stiff bristle parts cleaning brush to clean up all the area where the lifters are, the piston tops, and the ring ridge area where all the carbon is. see if that will get all that stuff loose and washed out. then go at it again with the power washer.
as for the heads, I think I will set them in my parts washer and clean them there first, then use the power washer so I don't get too plastered with that gummy mess.
