Started out like this....

















What you are about to see is hard to look at. Look with caution.







Going to pull the head off tomorrow. I need to get a 12 point socket to get the head studs off...

If your lash adjusters were stuck it would either A.)Keep your valves open cause piston into valve or B.)knock like nuts. you would def know if they were sticking.Have you checked your plugs lately?Nick pulled #3 on his to find it was cracked.Could be something simple like that

Well the earliest my head can be machined, if needed, is monday. Parts come in monday. So I think I will be working on getting back together monday night. I am just about ready to pull the head, all I need is a 12 point socket for the head studs and that only took me just over an hour last night. So it should take about 2-3 hours to finish putting it back together.
