Not For The Faint Of Heart!!!

Well the saga of getting my Jimmy running before I go to Japan in July began back in February when I purchased a motor from a board member and shown here. http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...d.php?t=268997

I then took it to the auto hobby shop on the base in Yuma and subsequently had several items stolen from the motor and chronicled here. http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...d.php?t=287544

The thieves tried to take off the manifold (took the bolts out but couldn't break it loose) so I pulled the manifold and checked it for the "missing" bolts but didn't find them and reinstalled it.

A couple weeks ago, we fired the motor and broke in the cam. It ran for 20 min and we shut it down. We restarted it, adjusted the timing and shut it down again and then it wouldn't start as told here.

I pulled the head today just to see what I could see and this is what I found.
