Stuff rags in any holes and cover over anyplace you don't want bits to go before you start. Unbolt and pry them covers off carefully. Stuff MORE rags in the oil return holes inside the heads (and cover the rockers and springs if you like). Scrape away without any worries! Keep up the good work!

Don't get discouraged. People on the forum here just want what is best for you and your van because they have done the same things. Don't take it as nitpicking. I don't know where you are from regionally but you should put a truck-in closest to you on your calendar for next year and come out and meet some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. we're not hot rodders. we're vanners and it's a whole other breed. you'll see lot's of vans in the process of rust repair. some still in the process of rusting and some finished. it takes all kinds.
Keep on truckin! it's lookin good.
I go to Truck-ins. How about you?

Take the mirrors, door handles, lights, grille etc off the van before you paint it. It will make a world of difference in the finished product.
