I finally am getting time to work on the Jonesmobile. The truck is smoking pretty badly on cold startup and is losing some coolant. Here are pictures of the heads...

Passenger side - 5, 3, 1



Driver's side - 2, 4, 6



This is the first time I've ever pulled heads off of any engine so I'm not sure what I'm looking at, other than the exhaust on #1 looks suspicious, and both intake and exhaust on #2 look kinda ugly. Is this a symptom of a dropped valve guide? Valve stem seals? The head gaskets did not show any sign of breaching.

The heads are going to the machine shop tomorrow. I'm simply curious at this point to hear the wisdom of the folks here who really know this stuff <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
