    Do you still have the A/C lines? Are you saving them? I had a spare set that I cut the fittings off of with just enough of the tube left to fit rubber vacuum caps tightly over them. Clean look, no hassle.

      I may have cut the lines already lol.

      Some progress is better than no progress.
      Had a rough time getting the fuel line off. That rubber grommet that is over them is rotted to all hell and it ended up falling off. Can I still reuse the lines or would that be a bad idea? I might just relocate them to make it look cleaner.

        Intake off. Needs a deep clean on it.

        The valley was extremely clean. No sludge at all! Very surprised from a 111k mile car.
        Heads go on tomorrow

          Hardly an update.
          Proceeded with removal of the timing cover removal. The hub was easy to remove and I was relieved.
          Timing cover popped off after I lowered the oil pan. I aligned the timing and pulled the cam sprocket.

          I believe gm spec is 1 inch of play in the timing chain. I have about half that.

              The yellow look is due to the lighting. The pistons and walls were silver.

                        That's a lot of santorum on one camshaft, probably a good thing you're swapping it now!

                            Spit will work too if you're in a pinch.

                              Did more things. Need new head gaskets as the ones I got are fine, they were just a little bent on the edges and I'm not going to take any chances.
