Finally stopped the oil leak and cleaned the engine

After finding the oil leak in the head gasket and tearing everything apart, I got the engine clean front back and bottom. Not too bad for a 16 year old bucket.
Did a little painting too. Not the exact color I wanted but looks OK. I think I should have stayed with the black though.

Re: Finally stopped the oil leak and cleaned the engine

Thanks for the comments. I would like to see a pic of a tucked engine since I am not sure what wires/hoses are being moved and where they are being moved to.
