Removed the head with little trouble, not too surprising considering it never 
drove further than 2 miles and idling in the garage. here is what I noticed; 
very black in the bores with carbon particularly 4, again considering it was 
never run on the roads this is no surprise, two areas of worry, a couple of the 
studs are covered in what appears to be the dreaded oil/water mix, it appears 
as bubbles in the coating on the stud and is generally mucky in appearance.  I 
removed one stud and the same was to be found on the thread area where it 
screws into the block. Secondly, around the liners and in the water passage way 
the corrosion light brown deposits are to my eye excessive, I noticed the same 
in the rad on removal.
