I took the head off my engine (bought almost sight unseen for US$100) and found it, to me looking normal... no cracks, no oil, just lots of carbon.
Can you take a look and tell me what you see?
The pictures are really big for clarity, sorry for that...
yes.. I already marked those for death row... :)
I will take them to the local parts/service/breakers yard to replace a broken stud and check the valves.... lets see if they check ok.
I plan on not dissasembling the rest of the engine... end play is ok and piston tops look fine.. and I need the car :)
ooops... was in the wrong directory :)
yes. I will take them to the local shop for more checking....

thanks for the reply ED...wasn't rushing you, just wanted to make sure it made it.... J
You can replace the connecting rod bearings without cracking the case open.. just remove cyls and pistons first.
You DON'T want to risk rod bearing failure...

Thats a good plan for today :)
How is the crank end play?
Ok. *cough* Now I see that I actually asked you a question you had already answered in the part I quoted... Need to consentrate more on reading and understanding.
I'll get me coat.
