Why keep the wheels on?I’m sure the 40” tires make that job even more fun.
Topside creepers have limited use cases for most shade-tree folks and are not cheap, but are wonderful to have when you need/want one. Almost make jobs like turbo reseals and up-pipes on lifted 7.3s relaxing.
Lots done and lots of learning....need a few kinetic moments with the engineers that designed this engine.
Day started with fenders coming off...that little motor is way in there. Then the tires and lowered to a set of blocks for easy access
Next up stripping the engine down...all the front accessories come off and then the front cover.
Valve covers...driver side easy... passenger side..-#__*@.some stupid design has the breather in the back dovetailed into the rear cam mount.....
Chains are off and cams loose...exhaust... manifolds.... Phucking stupid design for maintenance. Spend a couple hours trying to figure out how to get the bottom rear bolts out...a little help from a pry bar and they are loose...not sure how they are going back in.....
Tomorrow we go at it again. Head are coming off, oil cooler, and cam chains and front cover, if we can get all that done and the exhaust I'll call it a win.
Two people 0900 to 1700...I want a simple fuel injected V8......
Special thanks to Rattletrap55 for all the help.
Cheers

Awesome job you got a lot accomplished in a day. They really made it tough to access the passenger side. I am off on Sunday if you want some help with assembly let me know.
