    Did a REAL nice job of cleaning it up. What did you use on the engine? Did you have any problems getting the bolts loose to get your headers off???

    thanks! tare down went real well. no snapped bolts or stripped anything. I pb blasted the livin tar out of everything before even trying to turn it! On the engine I chucked a snake in to my drill and used a tapered nylon bristle wheel and soft wire wheel. I also used a red scotchbite pad and lubed it all with pb blaster while cleaning.
