not trying to tell you how to do the job though, BUT i do hope you marked the end caps and the conrods they came off of before dismantling ,

You are no fun Tony, I was admireing his rather nice granite effect work tops and re-use of kitchen units, I wish my garrage looked that well organised and he's got a parts washer. . . lucky person!
I would get the block hot tanked once you have cleaned out the oil galleries though, that block is well mucky.
Best regards
Mike
