[QUOTE="SRAD97750, post: 230175, member: 425"] Clean everything. Extra time at the parts wash, or a wire brush are well worth it. Label hardware in ziplock baggies. You don't know how long this project may be apart. Ask me how I know. Pay attention to how each component comes apart, what orientation. Take pictures of everything/anything you don't want to try and figure out later, such as all hose, wiring, and cable routing. "Did this cable go over this hose and through the frame?" Dry assembly is a good idea before trying to finalize any step. Rags or paper towels over/in openings keep hardware from falling deep into the engine. Know that something else will pop up during the inspection (or reassembly) requiring replacement or delays you didn't expect. Just know it usually doesn't all happen in one 'shopping trip.' Enjoy. If it's not enjoyable, take a break and come back to it. -BIG DAN:thumb: [/QUOTE]
