It was a good day at the range and after lunch I got started about 2:30. Only one broken exhaust manifold bolt and one that required a little surgery with a cutoff wheel. I need two bolts to fully secure the engine stand to the block and I can get started tearing it apart. Break time for dinner and off to HD. I was very careful to capture all the coolant and transmission fluid but I didn't have the plugs I needed for the power steering pump so now I have to powerwash the driveway again.
I took two days of vacation that gives me nine straight days off with weekends for spring break and it's been a blast, sore as hell but getting stuff done. So far, I have built 80' of three rail fence (142' to go), hand dug the post holes and painted it, framed a 12'x12' deck to extend my storage shed, mowed the yard, been to the range twice and yanked the engine out of the Heep

There are no shops in town that can turn a crank but I found a place north of Houston that charge 85.00 to turn and polish. It will take a good 3 1/2 hours of driving and 30.00 bucks of gas X2 but it's not like I have a choice.
One of the exhaust manifolds is cracked, I am not sure what I will do about that, maybe there are cheap headers on Ebay.
