I buy SuperClean from Walmart by the gallon. Make sure you wear gloves if you use it full strength.

I'm more about just clean and simple, but I will admit, I've thought about buying a cheap Craigslist oven for the garage just to do powder coating. MAybe someday.
Parts! Means I can get more stuff done.
Rear cover on.
Flexplate on.
With that together, I was able to put the engine back on the stand. My back was happy. Valley cover gasket. I love that Fel-pro blue.
Cover torqued, Knock sensors in.
Valve covers next. Here's the before.
And the after.
Screws are soaking overnight. Final valve cover instal won't happen until after the cam/springs, but they'll be ready when the time comes.
