Oh, forgot.  Regarding rust, on a couple of the coolant ports, one was completely clogged and the one next to it was 3/4ths plugged.  Several of the head bolts came out dry and a little dusty/rusty but a few were damp with oil.  How do you get the intake and exhaust studs off?  I want to get this stripped down as much as possible and I'm going to send it out to have the valves and prechambers done.  Hate to get this far and cheap out only to have to pull it again.

Looks good to me!

Is there any evidence of corrosion/rust on the mating surfaces?  (Hard to tell in photos....)

Did you see anything on the "bad" head that indicated a problem?  What does the receiving engine's low end look like?

Well got the head off the donor car today (recall needing to R&R the head on a 1979 W116 300SD). First time doing this so...

If the experts would care to gander at the photos and give me their feedback, I'd be ever so grateful!
