This past weekend I worked on the car for a good while. I got the better of the two friction discs installed along with the transmission. I got the oil pan swapped over from the old engine to the new because the new one had been cracked. Then, I started removing the EGR valve and intake manifold. It was pretty caked up. I got it off last night and cleaned up up. WOW, that was a mess. The beginning of the intake manifold had probably 1/4" all the way around of coked up junk on it. Thankfully it scraped out fairly well, then I used some degreasers to take care of the rest of it. Still, it was a couple hour job to get it reasonably clean.
