yes i think i am gonna get the heads shaved/resurfaced.
as for the paint... i just hit the side i have to look at whenever i walk up to the house or car quickly with megs #80. It still needs to be polished and waxed but it was an eyesore b4

How does this look guys ? This one cyl is kinda rusty. The piston sleeve i guess you call it has a little surface rust in it also. Should i clean that out some how ? I am gonna take the heads to get cleaned/surfaced etc. Got a quote for $250 to Re-build em.
Oh and suprisingly with all this rust and living in NY i did not break any manifold bolts !

That doesn't look good to me. I would suggest pulling the engine, re-ringing it, new rod bearings and at least honing the sleeves good. Wouldn't cost that much...but the time and effort would be pretty substantial.
I am afraid to pull the heads of mine because I know it will look like that..
How much do you guys think a rebuild on that would be?
Keep coming with the pics it might make me do the same thing.
if your gonna pull it and rebuild it, do it right. i would take some 2000 grit sand paper and some double d 40 and clean that cyl. real good and call it a day. did you try to start it before you pulled the head? did it spin over good, ie. no drag?

if it turns over fine then i would keep going in the direction you are in. we did this once on my buddies 94 3.4, the hardest part was adjusting the rockers.

when im doing something like that i use gear oil. i assemble engines with gear oil and have never had a problem.
the head bolts should (if you bought them new) have a blue crap on them like antisiese or something.
as for rockers, the haynes i think has a way of setting lash.
