Off with their heads

Slowing chipping away at the engine tear down.  It's been cold and snowing lately and since I'm doing this outside my fingers don't last long before I need to go inside.  After removing the water pump and fan I removed the crank pulley.  It was a bit of a surprise that the pulley came off with no difficulty (with use of a puller).  Then off came the valve rocker assembly and this morning off came the head.  I was having some difficulty getting it off until I realized there was a breather tube stopping it from sliding up the head bolts and off.  After new valves, springs, etc. are ordered the head will go to the machine shop to get rebuilt.

Block minus the head

...and the head.
