I know it's a heavy bastard. Tore the engine down tonight, stripped the head bare, head and cams look new. Cleaned the oil pan, also looks new. Stripped the block, left the crank in place. Cylinders still have the cross hatch marks on them!!! Everything looks good. Pistons are good (I don't know how they thought the timing belt snapped on this thing, everything looks fine. Oh well....if there's no interest here, this puppy is going on EBay.
