I soda-blasted the engine pulley, valve cover and lipseal pan. The process is a little messy, but it gently removes oil and paint. See attached pictures.
Barry cleaned and repainted the front anti-roll bar.
Then a welcome surprise - the original owner of the car dropped by... had a good chat for a couple of hours. More on this later.
Went hunting for engine paint. Found a perfect match for the sump - "Dark Grey" at NAPA Auto Parts. And "Wrinkle Red" (Canadian Tire) for the valve cover. Did final sanding & cleaning - then repainted.

We hope Twin City machine shop will finish the engine block on Monday.
