| Took the rockers and their base off on the driver's side. Looked OK. |
| Then I saw something odd. Driver's side intake port looks like one would expect. |
| Passenger side looks like someone got their "My First Head Porting Kit" and did a lousy job of it. |
| Driver's side pushrods. One of these things is not like the other. |
| No big gaping holes in the pistons, but a nice buildup of carbon. |
| Head looks normal too. Not too sure why I care, since the heads already need to be replaced. |
| Passenger side head has flecks of something in it, which doesn't thrill me. |
| That unusual-headed bolt that was in the passenger head is definitely larger in diameter than the normal head bolts. I tried sticking a normal head bolt in that hole to see if perhaps they'd just tapped the top and left the normal threads intact. |
| No such luck. The black line is where the threads start on the equivalent hole on the driver's side. My guess is that there's part of a head bolt stuck in there. |
| Passenger side pushrods. Again, one of these things is not like the others. |
| Broke one of the knock sensors. I had misread where the connector should be squeezed at it's narrowest point; the connector should actually be squeezed at the widest. Looks like of the two, I picked the right one to break though. |
| Passenger side head underside. |
| Took the pan off. Couldn't get the balancer/pulley off because I don't have a three-jaw puller yet. |
| Here's what the guts of the pan looked like; the oil didn't look as black in person. |
| Detail of the pickup connection. |
| Need to find what was connected here. |
Pretty sure at this point I need to replace the heads. Once I get the balancer off and the oil pump out, I'll go ahead and unhook the rods and mains and take a look at the journals. If there's anything odd there, it'll be time to replace the block too.
