Well its in along with new valve stem seals and a bunch of other gaskets.
Just started the engine last night seams to run fine but I think the dist timing might be off a little.
The reason it took so long week and a half was its is february and im in cape breton and working outside between blizzards lol.
Overall i would say it was a fairly easy job but time consuming.Once u have the heads off it looks like the is nothing left in the engine compartment and my shed was full of parts lol.
I used most of the upper engine gasket kit,i didn't remove the exhaust manifolds because the studs looked like alot of trouble.
The marks i talked about in earlier post went away after cleaning the head with fine emmery cloth on a 3/4 sheet sander it worked well on both the head and the block.
Thanks for the help and support,hope i get another 100,000 Ks on it lol.
