+1 on tech. just because it has pictures does not mean it is general discussion.

anyway, nice work, i wish i would have seen this when my headgasket pooped, i might have had the confidence to replace it instead of just getting a fresh crate

This is not a write up! It's you posting pics of you taking the top half of your engine apart. Where's the step by step proceedures telling what needs to be done in sequence? that's what a tech article is. If you'd like to do a propper write up, it can be put into our tech section w/ the rest of them..

All project threads go in the gen dis section. Tech is for specific questions concerning repair problems, diagnostics and so on.

So far that's all that's been discussed here. General discussion. There haven't been any technical questions asked nor any technical data given.
