The heads and block are dark gold. Someone didn't take good care of this, but no blame on the current owner (he's never even driven it!)

There was valve to piston contact in cylinders 5&6 but so minimal I don't think anything bad happened.
The car is.getting the heads rebuilt, new gaskets/seals, J-Mod and a going through by me to make it road ready.

Now the meat and potatoes.
Big event happened in #8, so much the exhaust valves are bent and hanging open at all times.

It might be hard to see in the pic, but the opposite side of the valves are CLOSED! Can you say BENT?

Alright back to the garage. Gotta bag the heads and intake to take to the shop.
Intake is all kinds of cruddy so Ill have it tanked.
Lets hope all the head needs is 2 valves, 2 guides and a valve job/seals.

Thats weird a stock 4V having PTV contact. How are the springs?

All in all its not that bad, the previous owner didnt keep the oil changes up but the pistons look good. You going with new heads or refreshen the old ones?

Edit: Are those the correct valves? They're pertruding from the head and are not in the closed position. Weird....
