Finally have the head off!!

[Kevin]

So i finally have the head off ater running into a million problems.. stripped bolts..impossible turbo (i ended up cutting the downpipe to get it out.. and even out.. i still cant seperate the elbow from the turbo..).. then went to take the head bolts off.. got to bolt #5.. and rounded the shit out of it lol.. so tried some extractor bits.. involved a little drilling (super scary).. that didnt work.. bought a new set of torx bits.. got the next size up and jammed that shit in.. and finally it crackked free... eveything was smooth there.. got the head off.. and holy shit the hg was in the shittiest shape ive ever seen..











Btw sorry for the shitty pics.. i took them from my phone.

So i gotta clean the shit out of everything.. any pointers? like what u use to clean all the crap out of everything? i was thinking of using gasoline lol. and also.. what should i stuff into the oil and coolant passages? i dont wanna lose bits of paper towel in there.
