Very nice. Where is your wife doing her R1? Is she going on to general surgery or a specialty?

INOVA Fairfax Hospital. A fellowship of some sort, as I understand it. I don't think she's sure yet.

Today, Ion and I finished cleaning the #1 - 3 case half and started cleaning the #4 -6 case half.

Finished #1 - 3:



In progress #4 - 6:



Unfortunately, the outside of the cases is stained/corroded in some areas, so it won't look as nice as the inside. The main purpose of all this work was to avoid contaminating the build with dirt from the outside of the case (and to make for some decent assembly photos ).

And to put off finishing the build! C'mon, I know how it goes...too nervous to actually put things back together so you occupy your time by doing "prep work".

Does your wife know you are publishing parts-porn on the internet while she is off trying to establish her career as a Doctor? - Nice progress.

Mihnea,
You are making good progress. What are you using to clean the block halves? The look like new pieces inside.

We used Amsoil Power Foam, which really dissolves oil and gunk deposits. Then, we simply hosed it down with water, using Simple Green to degrease the case. I have an in-line water filter to minimize hard water stains/deposits. Finally, we made sure to allow all oil/coolant passages to drain and let it air dry for a while. If you have access to compressed air, I would definitely dry it off that way. Came out pretty well inside and out. The outside has some stains from corrosion due to winter driving.
