This is a very important step. What I find inside will determine if this will be a usable block. First thing, I removed the large case bolts. There are eight, two rows of four: They came out very easy, probably because I've been soaking them with PB Blaster. I got four of the eight out when I remembered that I needed to remove the stock oil pan as well. I had forgotten it as it was underneath and not readily visible. I took the block off the stand and set it on it's end to remove the pan: Oh look what's inside! More mouse-house debris! But other than that, very clean. I removed the last 4 case bolts and hoped to split the case, but it's tight like the rear oil cover. Probably easier to take the whole thing inside to the shop. Next up... cleaning!
