Head is finally off. I hope I remember where all the bolts and nuts go when I put it all back together. I'm going to send it to NAPA to be pressure tested, cleaned, and rebuilt. Head gasket was definitely blown on the number 4 cylinder, exhaust side. Any tips for cleaning out the little bit of carbon buildup on the pistons? I can't believe how clean the cylinder walls are. Not a single scratch, gouge, or mark anywhere. Perfectly smooth. All the internal components I have taken off are surprisingly NOT worn for 213k miles.
