Thanks for everyone's reply. The pictures are exactly as I received it. I have not made any repairs yet. I plan on re-plumbing and rewiring everything. At this point I am thinking I will at a minimum, remove and clean the head and manifold. If I break one stud, I will remove and replace them all. I will as suggested, remove the water jacket plate and clean inside as best i can. I have been advised to replace the water pump, which is the original with one from MMI, and will make that decision after I give it a look.
The thing I am very short on right now is time to work on it. I am concentrating on the boat right now and once some progress is made on it, will circle back to the engine. Thanks again for the help and great information!
