Engine Disassembly

After the engine and transmission were removed from the frame the engine was bolted to a stand and the disassembly began. First the head was removed then the engine was spun over to remove the crankshaft, pistons and rods. Now it's down to a bare block and it's off to the engine shop to be cleaned and checked out.
