See what you mean. The block only took about an hour and a half to clean up. Getting the head gasket out of the combination head and water jacket is an experience I’ll not soon forget. Soaked it in paint stripper first. Helped a little? Dug out all I could and dropped it into some Gunk carburetor parts cleaner and let it sit over night. Be heading out soon to see how well that has worked.
