Hey Everybody,

It's apart! Multiple pics attached. Biggest bit of info that I could see is everything on the passenger side is wet with coolant. Also, dead center of the driver side is an obvious coolant blowout. There, it actually ran down the outside of the block. Based on the wetness and condition of the valves, I'm wondering if #5 and #6 were really firing or not. I forgot to snap some pics of the valves, and will do thst later.

I wasn't able to get the lifters out of their holes. It's like suction held them in place.

Pretty decent ridge ring at the top of each cylinder. I couldn't find any markings on a piston to indicate an oversized one. I think this might be an honest, original and very tired engine.

Ok, folks. NOW is the time to speak up! Thoughts? Next steps?!?
