Bummer is, I found a hairline crack in one of the heads too.
 I'll tkae it to our machine shop guys in the a.m. and see if it is salvagable.If it is ok...cool! If not...las $$ to spend. I'm kinda wondering which way to lean on this. |

Did it eat the crank too? It could be a lot worse. You could have paid for it.

Is that one of those new short cams?
 Couple of coats of paint, be running like a top! Hopefully the head can be fixed.

Been a long time since I have seen a mess like that...especially one that stayed within the engine. Like the others, its good you didn't pay for it and hopefully most of the engine will be useable

I got what I needed off of it, and a few parts I didn't expect, so if the head turns out OK...I'll be thrilled.
