Before I begin, Please try and keep the laughter to a minimum.
The instructions I got were to take LOT's of pictures and that it's labor intensive and to simply remove anything that get's in the way. I've personally never done anything like this before and I'm hesitating putting it all back together for a couple of reasons.
#1, I did not remove and note the placement of push rods before I pulled the heads. Therefore, shortly after removing the first head, the push rods fell out all over the ground.
#2, I did not note the placement of roller-rockers and their bolts.
It wasn't until yesterday I learned that you remove the push rods and rockers BEFORE removing the heads.

Project Photos: I tried to be as organized as possible..

There are also "General Questions" that I'm not clear on.. Such as..
1) Cold there be any aluminum that fell into the cylinder from the cross threaded plug? If so, do I need to tear down the entire engine?
2) There was water in the cylinders.. Will this hurt anything?
I cleaned it up as best I could.
3) Do I clean the cylinder walls and pistons?
4) The engine has been sitting a few days now.. Do I pre-lube anything?
I examined the oil carefully and did not see any metal flakes.
I really don't know what to do now. This is unfamiliar territory for me and I'm fairly certain that this engine won't run again, correctly anyway. Can anybody set me on the right path?
