Spent a little time pulling off hoses and such to get ready to degrease this thing.

Some of these pics are mostly for my own benefit during re-assembly.

Coolant line to the back of engine



low pressure oil line from oil filter



Next I covered all openings with baggies and rubber bands.



Should I pull the coils before I spray this thing with degreaser and hose it down?





If it warms up some tomorrow, I plan to lift the engine/tranny from the sub-frame and steering rack and clean it up outside.

Anything else I should remove that doesn't take kindly to degrease and water? I figured I refrain from using the power washer on it, and I plan to dry it with compressed air once I'm done.
