Hi, Cylinder head removed today, all checked ok, no cracks, cylinder head grit blasted cleaned and primed ready for rebuild, all valves and gear in very good condition.
A couple of negative points : No thermostat in the housing, engine stuck because the two rear bores have had water in them over the years. fourth cylinder from the front had some gouges in the bores, I suspect the truck was parked up because of this 20 years ago, not sure what caused this, any ideas??. Also the thermostatic valve built into the exhaust manifold has been welded shut and the manifold welded to the intake manifold, so basically the whole thermostatic valve has been disabled. Is this common?, perhaps a mod done to other trucks, Anyone come across this before?, I need to know before I start refurbishing both manifolds.
