I got everthing together, and IT RUNS!!! I just want to thank everyone, for all their help.

OH! i was wondering what i should use to degrease the head and all the other oily bits, should i clean off the pistons, thay look gnarly.

Thank you guys for all your help, i really appreciate it! I would take it to a proper machine shop and get it looked over by professionals, but i have to do this on the cheap, but i have access to a machine shop if i need one, i just have to do all the work myself.

Yay! i pulled the head!!! two noticibly bad exaust valves on cylinder 3, the rest look seated, but maybe a touch bent, gonna have to get my hands an a valve puller thingie tomorrow, only took 25 hours to get off!!!

nvm, i just tore it off, oh well, i'll have to use a regular screw clamp i guess...

way ahead of you, do you know how to take off the wierd clamps on some of these hoses?

I would gladly decapitate whomever decided the placement of the bolts on the water pump line next to the exaust maifold.

Thank you for your replys, i didn't strip the head bolt, thank god, My socket itself just ruptured on three of its sides. off to get some impact sockets.

argh, i think i stripped a bolt,

is there a fcp groton discount code?

Alright, i'm gonna tackle the head bolts, i'm gonna work my way from the outside in.
