Had a setback. Psgr side head front freeze plug started leaking. Once i got it out the inside of head was completely clogged with rusty scale sludge. Guess thats what happens when u leave water/anti in engine and it sits for about 27 years. I had flushed alot of crud out but when i saw inside heads i pulled them off. Soaked clr in coolant passages of heads and used flexibe bore brushes to scrub inside. Pretty clean now

Put a strait edge on block and heads and nothing warped. Buddy said while heads off to do a valve job so i may be learning how to do that soon.
