pulled the engine, degreased everything, resealed all engine leaks, 
valve covers, timing cover, front and rear main seal, camshaft covers 
on rear of engine, basically everything except the oil pan and heads.

Sanded, primed and painted the engine bay. Powdercoated some engine 
parts.

Got Transmission rebuilt and resealed.

Runs and looks awesome now.
