Louden,

My engine blew in my 92 Eclipse N/A early this year. It has been sitting in the garage waiting for a warm day to be worked on.
Well, this past week has been just shy of perfect weather. I have been working on pulling the blown engne a little here and there for a couple hours every night between my job and sleeping.
Tonight, I spent 5 or 6 hours in the garage tonight. The engine is out. I am so happy. I have never lost so much blood pulling an engine in my life. The head is covered in blood droplets (Valve Cover is off).
Now I gotta do the same thing all over again tomarrow as I pull the spare rebuilt engine from the parts car. While the engine is out of the 92 Eclipse, I want to clean it up a bit, and paint everything. Anything else I could do while the engine is out you guys think would be a smart thing to do?
I noticed that 5 speed trans that I pulled with th motor has a crack in it. Not too big. I do have another 5 speed. Should I use that instead?
Any suggestions you have would be great. I will keep you guys updated!
Car- 92 Eclipse NA
Engine- 4G63 2.0L Non turbo
Mods- Short Ram Air Intake, NGK Plug Wires.
Trans- 5 Speed
