TD thanks for the pics. If I need any help I'll be sure to ask you lol. Yesterday I got the alt, A/c compressor, assocory bracket, and intake off. Wasn't too bad in there but there was some oil. I also noticed some of the intake bolts wern't real tight. Today I'll probably yank the heads. There is junk in the runners of the heads that has me concerned.
Pics!

Not a problemo BB2. You may be aware of all this, but I'll say it anyway
: Before pulling the heads, make sure your rockers and pushrods stay in order so you can match them back up later. Also, be very carefull with the lifter bores and do not mix up the lifters and yokes from their corresponding bores.
Take out the block drain plugs to keep coolant from going everywhere when you pull the heads. Right side plug is in front of the motor mount, and the left side plug is behind the starter.
What kind of trash did you find in your head's intake runners? Did your truck ever throw any misfire codes?

Wow, that is freaky. I wish I could see your pictures from my work PC. I also had foriegn object damage (FOD) in my bad #8 hole. A small gouge was in the top of my piston with a corresponding gouge in the combustion chamber. Like you are saying, it's like the spark plug electrode broke off and caused the damage. In my case, whatever it was, I'm hoping my old cat caught it because I'm going to cut it open and see if it's in there. I've been wondering if the FOD caused my head crack. Is your #4 cracked?

UPDATE: Heres how I stand as of today
I'm down to needing to remove the timing chain, Dizzy, lifters and cam. I have a bunch of parts on there way as I stated in my parts thread. Still need to order a few things. I still need to finish modding my kegger I kinda put that off. Then I need to get everything cleaned up and painted. I sent a message to the peple selling the heads to find out how I need to go about ordering them. I hope to do that withen the next couple days once I hear back from them.
Heres some pics
This is a movie of the stock timing chain. Should it have that much play?
