I finally had the time and was able to get out and work on the truck some more. Pulled off the valve covers and found a nasty surprise, some white gunk.The worst of it is on the drivers side, although the passenger side a little as well. No where near as bad however.
I also got the intake manifold off. Luckily I've been spraying all those bolts with penetrating oil and they all came out without too much fuss. Man did that suck trying to wrangle that hunk of metal out by myself. I've started taking the rocker arms off the heads, but the washers are getting stuck, making it a tougher part of the job than I thought it'd be. Hopefully tomorrow after work I'll be able to get the rest of the rockers off and unbolt the heads so I can send them to get cleaned up and re-machined.
