Don't be surprised if every thing is rusty after spraying down with WD-40.

Yeah, I use it like it's designed. As a water displacer. I pressure washed the heads after blasting. Rather than fight with an air blower and miss some water, I soaked them with WD40 to remove water, just as it's intended. Although a lot of people think so, WD40 is not a lubricant. It is simply made to remove water and it works very well for that. Once the water is removed, I come back with a soaking of PBlaster.

Got some progress done tonight. Got the crankshaft installed and the new rings installed. Will probably assemble the rest of the short block sometime on the 4th.
