By the time I had all the head bolts removed on the passenger side removed, the water started pouring out of the engine! Once I had the left bolts removed the vaccum that was created was released and the head came off! Look how little to no Kroil was on top of some of the pistons!! Cleaned the tops and sides up and poured Kroil on ALL of them this time!! Not giving up on this old 216!!! Here are the pics: http://flic.kr/s/aHsjyendqP

Judging by the carbon buildup, it looks like it had quite a few miles on it before someone gave up. 1951 GMC 1 Ton Flatbed -- It is finally on the road and what a great time I have driving it! 1951 1 Ton Completed My Chevy Master 4 Door is on the Road!
