Right. I go back Saturday for the day. At that point I'm gonna clean up the head studs, and reinstall the nuts.

When the boat is on the hard, I'll work on getting the engine out of the engine bay.

Although all I wanna do is get the valves squared away and clean out the cooling passages in the block, both of which I could do with the engine in situ, I need to get that engine bay mucked out. It stinks of oil and exhaust all the time. Additionally, if you look at the photo, you'll see my mount stringer coming apart...figure I'd better do an extent of condition and subsequent repair.

ugh...picture won't come out as a picture! I didn't want you to see my crappy engine anyway!
