Alrighty then. I disassembled my engine today. I haven't taken off the timing cover or removed the rotating assembly but I had a question to ask first. Can I just power wash the block while it's disassembled to clean it up? Would the water evaporate out of the block or would that mess everything up by getting water mixed with the leftover oil and end up where it shouldn't be?

I'm going to put in new:
-Rear main seal
-Head gasket
-Oil pan gasket
-Flywheel
-Pushrod cover gasket
-Timing cover gasket
-Oil pan (So I can do the oil return correctly)
and reassemble it.
