Headless!

Engine block after heads removed

B-bank heads were unbolted and lifted out of Sherwood this weekend. An initial inspection found that they appear to be crack free, which is a relief after the 50% failure rate on A-bank.

The top of the engine will now be cleaned off prior to pulling out the liners. In the meantime the heads will be steam cleaned and overhauled.
