Greetings Volks,


Well, the heads are off and being tested. Some pitting on the head but none
on the case. ( thank God )! Nothing snapped or got buggerd up. Took about 5
hours in disassembly.


I forgot to DE gunk the engine before I jumped in and started the disassembly
really should have done it but forgot.(%^#@^%@%$#&.) This is really a good
idea!


The second thing I should have done was flushed the cooling system with a
system cleaner then with water prior to head removal. Live and learn


Now to make a shopping list.
