But since the motor will not turn by hand right now, how do I take off the heads?  I tried taking some photos of the what I believe is the valve extending out of the head which is what I am seeing instead of the piston through the plug holes of #1 & 5, but they didn't turn out well at all.  Any and all help and advice appreciate guys.  I want to get this thing up and running for good.  Remember, I have heads I think I can use if need be, but if I can just replace a couple of valves and the current heads and pistons are good, I will just replace them and throw on a new timing kit and be off and away.  If those 2 valves kissed pistons and they need to be replaced, would I be able to pull the oil pan and snake them out?  I actually might have 1, maybe 2 good pistons out of my other blown up motor...could I throw those in this block or is that asking for problems?</blockquote>
