Did my 1st 914 engine "drop". Not hard at all, except for the stubborn bolts. Gonna do a rebuild on it with new gaskets and stuff like that. Dunno if I should split the case and do the rod bearings. Should I? I know everyone is gonna say "yes" to this question. I am having trouble unscrewing all the engine sheetmetal screws. I've been using vice grips on most of them, but some are hard to reach. any suggestions on removing them? Anything else to watch out for before I tear the thing down? Thanks!

ok, got all that sheetmetal off the engine now. they are a mess, along with the engine. There is soo much shit on the engine. Looks like 10 years of oil leaks resulting in sticks and leaves sticking to the engine. Any good way to clean this off w/o destroying my garage floor? I'm actually thinking of painting my floor to make clean up easier. Also, anything i shold watch out for when I take it apart. I'm not splitting the case since there isn't any leaks on it or anything. Looks fine.
