Some parts finished and I started to reassemble. Here is a Pic from tonight after I finished cleaning the intake and got the valve covers back in.

She runs! Everything reaasembled(almost). Cranked her over and she runs great! Did the air pump and egr delete and have 0 codes or lights. Now on to figuring out why I have no brakes! Here's some pics of the finished product.

looks great. just last week i used hot soapy water and a long bristled brush to scrub down the dusty grungy areas that i didnt get to when i did my top end reseal.

i rinshed the dirty soap suds off buy careful dumping of hot water after the scrubbing was done.

check your drain udders. one behind the battery. one between left of center as u look forward. these drain the windshield runoff and get plugged. if the rubber drip tray is dirty scrubbing with hot soapy water restored my rubber to look new! my drain udders were plugged. coat hangeres them with hot water and it all washed out.
