Got some 6.9 head gasket as replacement for what I had.
During assembly found push rods that would not stick when lubed. A close look showed the end was wore down and not usable.
So looked over the rockers that came with block B as well, three where good and these three that have slight wear
These three sets have a tore up rocker, so got discarded into the scrap bin.
So went to check the extras that came with block A but found the bucket water logged. That block only came with 3 sets, so had enough to continue.
Did clean them up so are useable.
So have a assembled long block in hand, torqued to 106ft/lb.
I was thinking the heads where bare needing paint but the rebuilder painted them a gray. This paint was shot over rust and im not going to put forth the effort to brush them down right know. So just shot primer and a color over that, yes there is a skim coat over the rust valve covers just because.
