The power washer and degreaser didn’t really do that much to get my engine cleaned up looks like I may need a case or two of brake cleaner or carb cleaner and some wire brushes to get things cleaned up. I was able to get some of the numbers for the head and block here’s pictures. The head doesn’t have any casting numbers outside of the valve cover ? Why is that ? I also couldn’t find any numbers near the starter on the block maybe I have to remove the starter and clean the grime up better. The grease and oil is so baked on the engine it resembles creosote. The valve train has a lot of sludge buildup. I’m going to clean that up and change the oil and I believe it should start. I’m wondering what oil most of you use ?
