thats a nice looking jeep. Is that the one that you fought getting the mud out of radiator. Good news on this end, i got the bolts to give on the head. I didn't even need heat. i just kind of held them with a lot of force and they gave. it was kind of strange. I dont think the po used a torque wrench they were all different tightness, or maybe they just rusted uop a bit. I don't know. Before i pulled the head I took several cans of brake cleaner and cleaned the motor of oil that covered it. I was getting tired of being covered in grease to my elbows. I took intake off too, so i will give that a thourough cleaning while I wait for rebuilt head to be delivered. I wasn't going to order till I knew for sure it was burnt valves.... Not sure if I am up for regrinding the two, probably four vlaves. what is your thoughts. thats all I have for now. cheers Bill
