Head is welded & allmost fixed, allthough parts of springs , valves & keepers got thrown into other cylinders nicking them up, a new block may be in order.
preliminary head repairs:

SIXTH MOTOR!!!! Promod if it wasn't for bad luck you would have no luck at all! The head is looking muuuuchhh better. You must have one of those money trees in your back yard. I sure hope you don't need a new block.

Congratulations, you are only .019 from coil bind if they are installed at that height. It's just a matter of when, not if they start breaking.

I agree. Those springs aren't heavy enough to support 0.599 lift cams.
