I just picked up the cylinder heads from the machine shop. A respectable $177 and they did a great job. Cleaned, pump tested, replaced valve seals, surfaced, and lapped two valves.
And the mounting surface of the block. This surface looked like the one in the background. (EDIT: I cleaned the block surfaces, not machine shop)

I'm ready to see this on the trail. I haven't seen her in action since I've joined the overland community.

Looks real purdy Scott. We can thank the Japanese for making four-valve-per-cylinder motors reliable and cheap. A very efficient head design.

In due time. Summer is upon us.... and its gonna be hot!
Thanks Lee. Can we thank them for that? So far so good. But by golly, we needed three Japanese 9 year old girls remove the motor from the truck....
She sure is!
