Got the intake manifold, ex manifolds and heads off today. All in all, I'm very pleased with what I found. Obvious the head gaskets were leaking coolant - or the intake manifold - somehow water was getting in the cylinders. I thought it was pretty clean for a 43 yr old engine with almost 100K miles on it.
I think I might be able to re-use the pistons. (that will save me $600) They look great and the cylinder walls all were smooth. Almost no lip at the top of they cylinder walls. I'll mic them and the cylinder walls to check the condition.
Not bad for 1.5 hours work!
One of the holes I need to plug somehow.
Anyone know what the numbers stamped on the rocker arms mean?
No 3 cylinder - had lots of oil and gunk, all the rest were clean.
Here's the no 3 plug. All the rest were clean.
