Update: So it was raining pretty much all this weekend I got busy tearing down the motor. I removed the oil pan, the timing cover, the cams and the heads. Pics will be up shortly. I will be ordering my rods, pistons, bearings, studs etc sometime this week.

Hahahahaa you should've seen me yesterday. I put down some really thick carpet I picked up from Building 19. It was 15.00 for a 5x9 peice of carpet so the motor was sitting on there. I dropped the oil pan and the little bit of oil left which was like half a quart poured out but luckily in the pan After that everything else was just small bits of grease and oil which I just wiped here and there on the carpet.
