Good points :
all head bolts came out, thankfully none broke in the block.
piston and liners all seem good to..
Bad points:
Crank pulley seized would not come off and play ball tried everything short of dynamite! so unfortunately had to be cut off, o well
In summary the head gasket looks to be original never been changed before, the head once free from all bolts still had to be coerced (nicely) off due to being together for so long.. The coolant passages around head and liners badly clogged so the system was under alot of stress as it was
Next is to get bottom end stripped and heads stripped to see if there s any warpage on the head surface or crank journals and then see how bad the block rot is and go from there.
Also have to somehow get the mutated seized engine mount studs out of the block!
Onwards and upwards as they say!
