It began with the master cylinder grommets leaking. I fixed them years ago, but the brake fluid that had leaked out chewed up all the paint on the frame.

That was no big problem for awhile because the Pentosin leak was too lazy to fix kept the bare metal covered & prevented rusting! :-)

About 20 months ago, that leak became a gusher, & I could no longer afford to give Frank at Motorwerks any more money for pentosin. I yanked the whole power steering system out for rebulid, because all the hoses, the box & the pump were leaking.

Now I have TONS of guck on that side of the engine bay that needs to be cleaned, & that will leave lots of exposed bare metal that should be repainted. After mulling it over, I've decided to just yank the engine to better access the area to be cleaned & repainted. I'm also going to do some engine work while it's out, but nothing too crazy.
