Well I'm glad I went with reconditioned heads. I'm also slightly sad I didn't start running 93 until about 8 months after my rocker arm install.
Got the valves out of the old head to re-use the springs and the crack between valves on Cyl #1 extends behind and INTO the exhaust valve seat. Same hairline crack and as far as I'm concerned it could've only been caused pre-detonation. Just glad I didn't burn an exhaust valve or crack a piston.
I've got pretty much everything ready, Spent about a 90 minutes cleaning all gunk from the upper intake manifold, another hour on chasing all bolts for the upper and lower intake manifolds to get old loctite off along with chasing the LIM threads.
I can find a kit with a long enough bit to clean out my block threads. I'm just hoping one of the longer bolts I cleaned up will get gunk out of there. If I saw correctly the sealer is already on the new bolts and the manual doesn't call for any loctite so the bolt should do the trick.
