Hey guys,
So Pulled my head off for the first time since I got this motor. At hi revs I could hear a big tapping sound. I thought it must be the cam guide or the head gasket. I have oil leaking out the head gasket so I figured it was a blown head. Looking at the pictures what do you guys think?
What I found was some galling on the cam lobes. Id like to know what people think of this wear?
The other thing is it was missing some seals around the head bolts, should I remove and replace or just clean up and replace the seals. I have know idea what this seal is called if anyone knows?
