Yeah Ive had a LOT of naysayers say "Oh yeah man your head is definately trash". I was like well dont jump to that conclusion, the tensioner failed but kept the belt on the pulley, and I didnt hear any mechanical damage, so Im going to keep a positive attitude about it until I pull the head.

While the motor is out Im going to be taking parts off, such as the coolant tubes that go the the heater hoses, the lift eye, probably some suspension parts, and Im going to take them to work and sandblast them. Then I have a buddy who does powder coating and have them coated black.

Anyone have any recommendations of where to get a t-belt or a belt kit? Summit has a goodyear belt for $39, and the pulley kit from autozone is like $60.
