There is a small cover on the side of the blower motor- you can see the "waterline" leading to the seizing of this unit.

The fuse tested open (toast) so I figured I wanted to see it.

"After" shot of the piston tops, after a few cycles around to get as much grease and grime out as possible.

Intake valve After and Before.. The small circle on the "before" is from the valve spring removal tool.

Exhaust Valves after and before. The carbon was so built up on these I used a Mill File to get it off, and took it to a wire wheel for final cleanup.

After and before image of the exhaust valves. This was from one of the cylinders that got coolant in it.

On the "timing table" ... the cam followers "buckets" with their respective shims still held in place by engine oil.

Close-up of the intake valve spring retainers and stems. Cam journals look good, no signs of scoring or polishing.

Intake cam and cam followers removed.. I was eager to get the old valve seals out.

The failed gasket lifted from the block and flipped upside-down. Note exhaust-side cyl 2 compression ring and coolant passage failures in top right.

The great divide between Cyl 2 &3...it's painful to admit how much like a vacuum leak this initial failure felt like. A compression test should be on the list right after the usual vacuum line tests. Lots of deformation around the coolant passages, note how much smaller the holes in the gasket are compared to the block and head (next pic)

Yes, at this point the staging table was looking more like a parts pile
