OK, having learned my lesson about not asking the dumb questions......

Here are some:

1. For the life of me I can't see any difference between the 2 heads - is there a left and a right head and is it important that they go back in the same locations?

2. Had a lot of burned oil / carbon on the cylinder heads and chambers. I'm assuming this is a by product of the problem, and I cleaned it off with laquer thinner. Is this a potential indicator of something else that I should evaluate?

3. Anything else I should take the time to do while I've got the heads and intake off the engine? Was thinking of confirming TDC mark on my harmonic balancer. Should I do anything to the chambers on the heads?

4. Should I put any prelube or oil in the cylinders before closing it up? I plan on using a drill and attachment to prime the system with the oil pump, so would this be redundant?

Other questions I forgot to ask?
Thanks!
Scott
