I used to live in upstate NY near Plattsburgh so I know what kind of rust issues you are dealing with. Sounds like it's going pretty good. Keep up the great work!
PS: I moved to NC to get away from the rust and snow.

GOOOOD STUUUUFFFF
Penetrating-Lubricating Oils
I worked in an engine shop at our airline for several years and we used the aero kroil version. Talk about engines that are subject to heat soak and some bolts that need a little help when it comes time to remove them......
Not sure why though, they have the worst spray nozzles of any aerosol can I've ever used. If you try to just squeeze a little out instead of a full blast stream it will almost always squirt backwards and hit you in the eye,,,,,,,Ur, I mean safety glasses, yeah cause we never forgot to put them on, yeah.

Yes, we have used 1/2 an 'industrial size' can of aerokroil on this project. I took a pic of it perched on top of the engine - I'll post it when I get a chance to upload the pics! 
Oil pan is on, we have located a new 6.0 CAC to replace the leaky stocker and almost all the parts are here now! Time to rebuild turbo, EBPV, oil cooler, paint and detail the engine and engine bay.

After moving the truck back inside, I did a little work on the frame, etc:
Oil pan got installed this AM, 1/2 the block is painted, the oil cooler is disassembled and painted, the exhaust manifolds were cleaned and painted, CAC tubes painted.
I'm going to bed!

Your thread kinda makes me want to yank mine again so I can do all the stuff I didn't know to do back then...that engine pull was most of the reason I started reading on FTE. I couldn't get my oil pan to seal up right, and ended up having to yank it out again immediately. Wasnt using the Ford super goop and engine wasnt upside down. Doooh!

Well, it went from mid-summer HOT to kinda chilly today!! I'm sure it was warmer this AM than it is now. No complaints though, its just cool enough to enjoy standing by the woodstove in the shop!

Jason, thats a good idea with the ratchet strap. Just tucked that away in my things to remember. As much as I like working on my truck from time to time, I sure hope I don't ever have to pull the engine. Its rust free even though I live in jersey.
