I started the truck today. Had a few minor timing issues. Manily because i ran the firing on the distributor backwards and ran out of fuel. Here is a short clip of her running. http://instagram.com/p/a7BAY0CxyJ/
Got the heads off yesterday. Diagnosis was right, cylinder 1-3 head gasket blown right in the middle. Heads being sent to machine stop tomorrow. Gaskets are already in so when i get the heads back i will start reassembly.
