When you pulled the cam looked to me like the cam bearings were wiped looked like pure copper. Maybe I was looking at it wrong?
Anyone know what these are for? I’ll be mounting a fire extinguisher here.

Holy bawls... what a hacked up mess.
Did you end up pulling the head and replacing the gasket? As far as peak boost is concerned... much over 40psi on stock torqued bolts is pushing it... at that point, its wise to go with studs.
Looks like its come a long way.. keep up the good work.

didn't want to comment last year when you picked up the truck, glad to see you're getting it all fixed up how it should be
the reason I didn't want to post originally......
I KNOW THAT TRUCK!!!!!! I recognize the engine mounts
the swap was done by a high school automotive tech class
Well, just to give you an idea, they haven't had the same shop teacher for 2 years in a row for the last 10 years, they are actually taking applications right now for the next school year. I threw my hat in the ring, I doubt they'll take me with no degree, but at least I know my way around a shop.That would make sense I can see myself doing some of those things back in HS. What shop teacher would let that stuff fly though?
I'd check if it can be sleeved, but as far as you're saying, I'd go for the quality, it's not like you're going to be getting rid of the truck anytime soon right?Quick update - the block is toast. Its already been bored .020" over, and cylinders 5 and 6 are scratched so deep another .020" won't clean them up. I could sleeve it, but my machinist didn't recommend that because they wore to one side. I do not want to have to pull this apart again. So I'm looking for a block, or an engine, or a whole truck. I looked at one with 315k on it and was impressed, so we'll see. I'm torn between putting some money in a well used engine, or just biting the bullet and putting more in a quality rebuild.
