Hi All,

I did not have any time to work on the car during this week, but today is cleaning day.

I cannot clean the block more than this, to the finger touch, it is all smooth.



Now some questions for you:

1) Just to confirm. I can rotate the crankshaft to bring the two central pistons up and finishing the cleaning, correct? As long as I do 360° and go back to TDC, (crank notch aligned to the 0 mark), I should be good. Please confirm.

2) I marked all the coolant passageways in red, and oil ones in yellow. Am I correct in identifying them?

3) Would there be any benefit in using in blowing compressed air in the coolant passageways? How about the oil ones?

4) The car needs engine oil drain and filter replacement. I guess the best time to do this is before I start the engine after I am done with this job?

Thank you!
Alessandro
