Blackstone analysis on my rebuilt cylinder head.
The water pump seized and damaged the valves on my interference engine. The top of pistons head were only scuffed and not replaced. Only the cylinder head was repaired and NOT machined flat since it was in tolerance. All new gaskets installed.
I asked Blackstone to determine if the new cylinder head gasket is OK and if any coolant is present. 20 new hydraulic lifters and 20 intake/exhaust valves were installed. This is a 5 cylinder non-turbo engine
