Ready for a major clean-up. The previous LHS cam cover leak wreaked havoc! This is where most of my time went during the service, including under the engine & surrounding areas also.

I wasn't planning on removing the water by-pass, until the water inlet pipe needed to be removed with the help of a vice & hammer. Plenty of crust as seen, well overdue for a clean & gasket change anyhow.

New Denso radiator & alternator imported from old faithful, Rock Auto. Despite being made in Indonesia, it's a very well made OEM replacement in my opinion. It was also cheaper to import than it was to buy local Chinese-made rubbish!

This is where the engine is currently at, while I wait for 1 more OEM parts order to come in next week (copper washers for hydro fan, temp sensor for radiator etc. + some extras..) In the meantime, more engine bay & undercarriage TLC!

It was cool to see that the diagnosis check wire & SST for the crank pulley were still available, both of which will/have come in handy.

The failed Denso radiator after the 1st start/coolant bleed, appeared to be an internal leak as seen on either side. May have it repaired in the future.
