Head will live needs two new valves and some clean up. top of the rod and part of the pin bushing What do you guys think about this fuel wash Pattern on the piston ? Tag 5 valves. bend the crank. Had to loosen the main caps to turn it over. crack one of the main caps.

I will take some more pics as I get it apart.
