Free BEERS!
The drinks are on me boys, the Flatty is free!! After a couple of months of pb blaster soakings, she is freed up and smooth as can be....
to redeem your free beers go to your buddies house, open the fridge and help yourself (tell him I said it was ok)
Thanks for all the advice, it made a difference.

LOL....some of the non "truck guy" type friends might take a little convincing as they wouldn't fully appreciate the significance of a freed up flatty and would have to be schooled.
Of course this "schooling" process might take a frosty or two......

I will pull the engine this weekend and work on getting it on a stand. The plans are to pull it it apart for inspection and clean up, then decide what level of rebuild to shoot for. I will have three bambinos in college next year, so money is pretty much non-existent.

Great job! Looks nice and clean now.
One thing before you start tearing it apart; check and record all your valve clearances. If they are all good, and there aren't any burned valves, that's a good thing ($$$) to skip during the rebuild. (Assuming you keep all the valves identified as to where they go).
