I pulled the Drivers side head and in doing so found 1 broken intake manifold bolt, sent the head to the machine shop, they called and said there was no way to get the bolt out, said it was welded in,

found the front of the drivers side intake gasket completely gone, on top of that it had no exhaust manifold Gaskets on either side.

used heads at $85.00 each guaranteed not to be cracked, or $485.00 completely rebuilt with warranty,
