Default Getting back to it

I've started on the engine rebuild. This time it's the Euro S engine that came with the car. The car has a '79 US engine in it now.

I've gotten it apart with not much drama. It came apart fairly easily. Surprisingly, all the injector sleeves unscrewed just fine. One broken bolt on the heater hose outlet.

I'm trying to get the studs off the block and that's not going well. The plan is to have the deck milled to be flat. I've tried 4 or 5 and only one stud came loose. I'll see how it goes and may just let the machine shop remove them.

All the bearings looked and and the cylinders themselves are remarkably clean. Not a single scratch in any of them!

The outside of the engine was an oily mess with lots of caked-on, baked-on dirt. The inside is terrible. I ran synthetic oil in it thinking it'd clean up a bit but it's just black and gooey.
