Did the head gaskets today. It was a relativley simple task. The hardest part was the R&R of the intake/exhaust. Hand jivin' that took forever! The cylinders have a little bit of polish, but there is still a crosshatch visible. The Saturn Surplus head nut wrench sucked...see Head Nut Wrench thread!! No cracks in the pistons and the # 3 exhaust port had a tad more carbon in it than the rest of them. It seems as though the running of dieselgas is showing no ill effects on the internals. Thats a good thing. Could have done the complete job in a day, but, the wifie is at work today, so I had some Donnie Domestics to do. It will run again tomorrow. Took about 2 hrs to get the heads off, ALOT of inspection and cleaning, and, as of now, it needs the overhead set and the fuel lines on it to run. Then it's just the chassis stuff, filter and housing and side covers. Here's some pics to go with the repair.
