I finally got around to taking this head off. Just posting some pics. What you guys think. This is just a spare ca motor not the one in my car.

looks like mine did after i left it standing with a blown HG for 4 months. the bores will be screwed from the rust and the head will be warped like a banana. I've paid £20 for engines like that before

the head may not be warped, just depends on how like the PO ran it with a blown HG.I wish I had something like that, I'd like to take my time rebuilding with forgies.
