Definitely a newbie question here...
I've got a 1979 911SC with at least one broken head stud and a stripped hole for the SAI injection port in one of the heads. I'm planning on keeping the work scope to a minimum and won't be splitting the case. I'm now at the stage where I'm ready to remove the cam chain housings.
I'm assuming(?) that I can take the engine apart in it's current "dirty" condition and get after the cleaning once the chain housings, cam boxes/heads and P&Cs are removed. I'm a little concerned that some of the accumulated grime/dirt over the last 40+ years could get into the case when I start removing the cylinders.
I don't have a steam cleaner and live in "the water shed" so oily water runoff down my driveway is not an option.
Hoping for advice on how and when to go about the cleaning process, hoping I can take things apart before cleaning...
I've attached a couple of pictures showing the areas I'm concerned about.
