I've got the engine out, plenum & IH assemblies off (what does IH stand for? Injector something? Intake header?
), drivers head off, timing chains/cams and related assemblies off. Gonna take passenger head off and drop the oil pan. Inspect and clean everything real good esp in combustion chamber. Replace all gaskets of stuff I removed. Replace the bad valves, remove and inspect the others on that head. So yeah, probably just a mild patch up for now. But I am going to inspect everything as good as possible to find all the metal pieces.
In the future when I have more money, I plan to freshen the engine up, prob get top end P&P and powdercoated, maybe get bigger pistons/sleeves, freshen bottom end, etc.
Cams look a little bit worn at the tip on some of the lobes but look ok overall. I don't have the money right now to replace 4 cams. I just want to get it in running condition for as little money as possible for right now.
