Today was about cleaning up the mess. I separated the transmission from the engine, removed the starter, carbs, shroud, engine tin, etc. There was a small ecosystem going on in certain parts of the engine crevasses! I mopped the garage floor clean of all the grease and dirt. I then plugged any holes in the engine that I didn't want water to enter. My youngest daughter Lily and I power washed the transmission, we both got soaked through and there was gunk all over the driveway. Another lesson on this journey learned!

For the engine I pushed it up the driveway on the furniture cart to the curb. I got my full rain gear on with rain boots and face shield and power washed the gunk away spraying and scrubbing with engine degreaser as I went. 2 hours and 6 cans later I was done!
