The guys over at Rescino Performance here in San Francisco were real cool. Here are the pictures of the drivers side, from the front of the motor towards the back (don't mind the small debris, they fell in there while I was taking pictures):<a href="https://postimage.org" target="_blank"><img src="https://s15.postimg.org/n9jxp2n2j/drivers_side_1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="https://postimage.org" target="_blank"><img src="https://s15.postimg.org/4fy4s2ouj/drivers_side_2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="https://postimage.org" target="_blank"><img src="https://s15.postimg.org/3p5emamh7/drivers_side_3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="https://postimage.org" target="_blank"><img src="https://s15.postimg.org/d8f3fr9zf/drivers_side_4.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>passengers side from the rear of the motor towards the front:<a href="https://postimage.org" target="_blank"><img src="https://s15.postimg.org/u7o1v0l6z/passenger_side_4.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="https://postimage.org" target="_blank"><img src="https://s15.postimg.org/5pvy74imj/passenger_side_3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="https://postimage.org" target="_blank"><img src="https://s15.postimg.org/p6gntndqj/passenger_side_2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>I start to clean up the surfaces just a bit, using a non-scratch scotch-brite pad, and some CRC brake cleaner. How does it look? I didn't take a lot of pictures, I was real busy scrubbing and cleaning the timing cover and valve covers as well. Before:<a href="https://postimage.org" target="_blank"><img src="https://s13.postimg.org/88a5geztz/gasket_on_surface_before.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>After: <a href="https://postimage.org" target="_blank"><img src="https://s13.postimg.org/sednfavhj/surface_after.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>About 80% of the gasket material came off without a problem, but there was about 3 areas were the gasket "blew" in between the bores, were the material wouldn't come off. I didn't want to use a razor or anything harsh. What would you guys use? Does the surface have to be 100% clean? Lastly, does anyone recognize or know the part # for the metal part of the heater hose? I accidentally broke it:<a href="https://postimage.org" target="_blank"><img src="https://s15.postimg.org/a93lewb4b/heater_hose_broken.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="https://postimage.org" target="_blank"><img src="https://s15.postimg.org/drflbac0b/heater_hose_broken_2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></blockquote>
