In tearing down the cylinder heads we discovered some serious (man made) damage to the cam saddles. Thankfully we were able to correct this issue by performing an align hone to both heads. We also found some corrosion damage in the head deck surfaces, but this has already been remedied after a short visit to the Team CJ Coachworks.
