Ever start doing something and get carried away? Today I went out to remove the oil and dirt from the flat area by the distributor so I could get the engine serial number and I couldn't stop. Here is what I started with, and here is where I ended. Stupid little putty knife, no wonder my projects take so long!

Same thing happened to me. Once you get started with a putty knife it's hard to stop. It's fun when the great big pieces of crud come off.

The Cab really gets in the way of the putty knife.

Looks good, Bruce. Keep at it.

I am doing the same thing on GMC 270 that has not seen the light of day in decades (hidden under a COE cab). This only difference for my engine is that no one will be able to admire the clean engine - it will again be hidden under the cab.
