Day 2 of teardown

Looks like the block is still good and no bent valves!!!

cylinder head











shortblock













the parts bin

Can you please take pics in reverse order and post them up as a "DIY: How to Remove K-Series Head" please? You can also post the correct order of torquing and their specs if you don't mind. I'm sure that can help out A LOT of people, including myself. Please, and thank you very much. We will definitely give you rep!

Looks good btw!

Yea I was very surprised of the out come and wasn't expecting the damage to be so lite.
Sucks the crank is toast doh.

Spent the morning cleaning the head and getting it all nice and clean..

Since this is new to me, is the crank toast because journal 2 got scraped up from rod 2 and that unbalanced the crank? Because in this case, I believe you can get the crank rebalanced. But this isn't something I'm experienced with, that's just my thought/interpretation.
