So tonight I went and picked up the head out of my car that way I could clean it up and see if it needed any work.

I was hoping to just have it cleaned up at the machine shop, but it dont look so good. The intake cam is rusted. The rockers dont look good. But I believe if I just soak them in something they will be ok.

However, when I flipped the head over the one cylinder dont look good. The rest are carbon'd up pretty good. But the one has some rust on it. I was hoping not to rebuild the head as I really didn't plan on it in the budget. But tell me what you guys think.

I am hoping I can save it without to much work. If I have to I will rebuild, or maybe find a good one for cheap. I dunno.
