I had not really planned on a full engine rebuild. I would like for the engine to be sound. I have read so much about head bolts leaking and thought I would replace them while I had it out. I have no check compression yet. Along with the pictures of the engine, I included one looking into the exhaust manifold. I thought I would do what I could to remove the flakes from it, using a pressure washer and various brushes. (after removing it)
This engine was at one time (I think) a heat exchanger/coolant cooled engine and was then changed to a raw water cooled engine. It has lived its life in a fresh water lake so I plan on using only raw water and removing the associated plumbing for coolant.
If I remove the head and manifold, and find issues, or have a compression issue, I will rebuild, otherwise, reassemble. I will then sort out the fuel system, remove the remainder of the front water pump pulley from the crank, clean, paint, test, tune and reinstall. Thank you all for your help.
