Kinda hard to see, but aside from being bent, it's not pressed on straight anymore. There's a raised ridge on the right side that's not on the left.

You can see a piece of guide down there and some light gouging.

Here's where I got to so far. Removing more than I need to so it's easier to clean everything. I really want to remove the ugly black spray paint some moron put in there when it got stolen.

Blurry photo, but that's the guide at the bottom there. My guess is the tensioner was put on too tight or just failed early (40k mi). I'll know soon enough.

Pulled the head to find crappy fel-pro gasket. It was letting oil and coolant into the combustion chambers after only 40k miles.

All combustion chambers look bad with crispy burnt valves, but #4 was by far the worst. Is that damage all from detonation? There was nothing in there there that would cut into metal like that.

This cylinder was still firing and holding 135psi somehow. Combustion gases were passing into the next cylinder.

Typical broken driver's guide. It's not really the guides fault... let's move on to the tensioner; What's left of it anyway.

Found the tensioner arm just lying at the bottom of the cover. It boldly took on the job of chain damper for awhile before it shot outta there like someone gave it the heimlich! I'll see the spring tomorrow when I pull the pan.

Old head bolts from napa, with corrosion on some theads. I'm using new ones from engnbldr just to be on the safe side.

Old head bolts purchased from napa a few years back. 4 were coated in oil when I pulled them.

The napa bolts are very generic looking and don't have a grade stamped on them, so no clue what they're made out of. Engnbldr's at least let you know they're 10.9 bolts.

This is what life looks like when you have no garage or even a decent place to keep this outside. It's way smaller when folded.

This is after I sanded them with 400 grit. Do they look safely reusable?
