can't wait to get her up and running again, been too long since i have been able to drive her! going on almost 2 months now. the longest part has been the wait for parts, tools, little things.
I would not use sandpaper on the block or the head...Use the Scotchbrite wheels as you don't want deep scratches on the head or block these could and will cause leaks..GL...KP...
