Making progress. My buddy blew his engine to pieces and almost cracked the block in half. Has 4 holes in it and a nice crack runing down one hole side of it. Anyways he is going with a new long block from AMS or MAP. So he sold me his head and Tomei Poncams for $900. I found 2 bent valves so i removed those and the only damage to the head is 2 busted valve guides. $170 to fix (parts and labour) so no big deal. Debating if i want to replace those 2 valves with the oem ones from my head or say **** it and go aftermarket valves and springs. Think im going to go aftermarket even though the cams allow you to use oem valvetrain since its only a mild cam (intake = 260, Exhaust = 250). Anyways heres some pictures







Dont have a picture of the head but once i get the valves/springs and install them ill post up the pictures. Gotta bring the head to work tomorrow to give it a nice bath..lol.
