Don't mind me... taking pictures all along the way of the minutia.
More cleaning tonight of the hydraulic tensioner chain covers and all the pistons... sigh. My fingernails are all black... but parts now look as good as I can get them. Tried wearing gloves but didn't notice pin holes once they started ha. I've ordered SharkHide from Eastwood to coat all aluminum to keep the corrosion at bay. Should be here next week about the time it's needed.
Took a picture after I finished the first one... which was worse.
