Message: [QUOTE="jdgleason, post: 1010635, member: 166"] :whs: Heads are not in good shape lol. Looks like one valve failed and may have caused the melted piston issue... It sucks, but it is what it is! [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/08/ana9e6yr.jpg[/IMG] Thanks again to Nathannial for all the help. I always learn a ton from him when I get to work with him and today was no different. For being as unmotivated as we both were, we had the cab up in a little less than an hour and a half. Stopped for lunch and dinner and still had the motor torn down and all the parts cleaned up and the shop mopped 3 times by 630... And we started at 930. Pretty happy with how smooth the tear down went. [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/08/yzarutu3.jpg[/IMG] The rest of the motor looked fantastic. No cracks in the pistons and cylinders look good. I did swell one of my up pipes and I assume it about popped with spray. Also found the passenger up pipe was leaking from the factory weld too. Head gaskets were totally fine still for those interested. [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/08/e6a6ugev.jpg[/IMG] From here, we will see how everything goes. The plan is to get the motor to the machine shop early next week and get them started on it. I'm planning on some 20 over pistons from Jared at RCD cut and coated. It's getting a stage 1x cam from Tadd and finally doing push rods and valve springs. The 6.0 manifolds and up pipes will go on as well. It'll get gapless rings too. My main bearings and rod bearings have already been sent off to get coated. Still up in the air on Carillos and Turbos right now. I have to sort out my finances this coming week and see where I'm at.

[IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/08/ze7aramu.jpg[/IMG] Tomorrow it's coming home so I can clean up wiring and stuff underneath it. Simplify some of this nitrous stuff and put in some ground and power bars to make wiring easier. Plus, I'm going to power wash all of it and clean up the engine bay. Reality set in today that it's gonna be a few weeks before I can drive it, so that sucks. Lol [/QUOTE]
