Uncovering (and cleaning) the Engine

In order to repair the engine properly, I had to take the shrouds off. The first thing I did in this direction was to take off the shroud that houses the oil cooler and fan. After this was finished, I was able to remove the intake manifold (that's what the carburetor connects to). I then took off all the other panels. After the engine was completely uncovered, I water blasted it (with this high power hose thing called a water blaster) and blow-dried it (with the compressor). I left the panels off so I could clean and paint them.
