Yep, that's what the topside looks like except for a mountain of rust in the lifter/valve area. Not one valve moves at this time so went for the bottom end yesterday. To my surprise the old oil had done it job keeping the rust away from bearing areas and because of the 65 degree block orientation was able to reach all the connecting rod caps with ease unlike the V8.
