Time to do some laundry!

I had a bunch of chores to run today, but afterwards I spent most of the time washing the dirty, grimy parts that I have accumulated so far.

It took a LOT of laundry detergent (no, I'm not kidding) and even more elbow grease, but they turned out pretty decent. Here are some pictures of the cleaned-up parts:

First of all the heap that used to be the oil pan gasket:

Transmission bell housing plate, this goes under the oil pan and bolts to the bottom of the transmission bell housing

The valve cover:

Finally, the oil pan itself:

So, now that stuff is cleaned up, it's time to start bolting this baby back together! Starting tomorrow, hopefully no nasty surprises!
