Yanked engine, removed charger and broke down the head from the block in hopes there was not too much damage to the valves.
She had 2 bent exhaust valves in #2 and #4, consistent with compression test. Discovered bent valve guides as well so I replaced all with Ferrera valves, new valve guides and seals. New OEM belt, pump, pulley, headgasket and reassembled to the block.
I also hit both with some high temp rattle can for the finished effect.
While i had things apart, I added an integra ls 5th gear to my tranny for lower highway rpms. A little degreaser, scrubbing and some rattle can to match the longblock to make it look new again.
Gonna take my time on the reinstall in the bay. Gonna clean up some wiring and degrease the bay while everything is out. I may even do some touch up painting. So stay tuned.
Another public thanks to bill for throwing together this video to run along with my Ohana feature. If you haven't seen it yet, Enjoy!!
