The inside of the valve covers look kinda crappy! just more burnt oil build up than I expected to see.



The valve train looks good....



Well now for the time of truth! Time to pull the HEAD!



#6 cylinder head gasket is BADLY deformed, two spot pulled in slightly and one spot really pushed out. It doesn't look blown to me and the metal crush ring is still intact but it would have NOT lasted very long in that condition!



#4 & #3 look acceptable.......



#1 is also BADLY deformed and it was even to teh point wher teh piston was starting to hit it. But again it doesn't appear to have actually blown, YET.....



And here is what the valves look like. Much better than the first two motors.



Well, right now I'm not sure what I'm going to do. But I really don't see anything here that I can complain about other then the head gasket was on the verge of blowing. But thats not a big deal since I pulled the head and had plans to replace that anyways. As long as it had NOT blown and damaged the bearings in the bottom end, I should be fine.

I think what I'm going to have done is a professional Head Job, Send the injectors in for a cleaning and maybe inspect the bottom end bearings. But I hate disturbing the bottom end since that would probably void teh warranty I curerntly have. I should cost out the price to have the bottom end fully checked out and balanced also.....I just have to think about it some more before I do anything.....
