Good news:
Engine is apart and ready to go to the machine shop.

Bad news:
Hello cracked ring lands, #2 had multiple cracks around the piston, #4 only had 2 visible cracks but it looks like chunk can separate off the piston, The bore on #4 is badly scored, no sure if the overbore is going to clean it up, only the machine shop will know.


sooo much stuff to take off the engine


passenger side head


Drivers side head


engine block

The cam bolts SUCK, broke a hex bit, messed up a 10mm allen wrench and killed a timing belt in order to attempt to get the bolts out. Had to use a 4ft cheater bar to get the exhaust pulleys off, and I failed to get the intake and they started to round out.

the solution is to drill out to a 3/8"s size bit and break off the head the rest of the bolt screws out finger tight.


one of many cracks:
