bummerEngine decided it didn't require a head gasket Friday night, as evidenced by the coolant sitting on top of the #6 piston. Also note the broken head bolt right next to it back there opposite the dowel. Ripped the head off Saturday after lunch. I am more than overjoyed as the timing is terrible. I'm in pain and have surgery next Friday. Just glad this happened now on not on my way down to Rubithon. Bright side is I can handle a few things I have been putting off while I have everything apart. It's just going to take time.
Not to extract that bolt. It is really frozen in there...
