Here is the latest report from the shop this afternoon. At least it wasn't worse!
The heads are off and I can't see anything major. Intake was sealed nicely, gasket failed between cyl #3 & 5. Gaskets seemed pretty rusty, and steam ports in the block seem to be causing wear into the head. I will have Don assess it- not too worried. Head looks to be a little warped too.
We can run an MLS gasket if the head & block surface are smooth enough. I am going to have the heads pressure checked to ensure that they are fine.
Also, I never noticed any sign of detonation- plugs look good, no evidence to speak of & Mark (the GM/FAST tuner) never had any concerns in that area yet with the tune.
