It was not a very busy day. I spent a bunch of time cleaning up the studs so that the flange nuts can be turned on by hand. That is important because many of them are so inaccessible. It helps to have a good idea for the order of things. If you start at the front to take them apart and start at the rear to reassemble the cylinders, you do yourself a favor. In any case, the critical nut is the very bottom one because it is situated between the pushrod tubes and can only be accessed with the cylinder wrench and can only be turned 1/6th of a turn at a time. With a regular wrench it is 1/12th of a turn. By the end of the day everything was cleaned up and most of the studs were in fine shape.

This is what the port side of the engine looks like with everything removed and cleaned up. It is interesting to look inside and see how the cams and crank are arranged. There is only one cam shaft that operates the six exhaust valves and six intake valves. Each cam lobe operates an exhaust on one side and an intake on the other. Pretty cool.

Good Point!!
Also make sure no parts fall inside the engine.

Just make sure that there are no parts left when you put the engine back together ;)
