I went a little overboard - it does not need to be bent as much as I bent it :bb :bb :bb

UPDATE
Pulled the passenger side headers and head
There was oil even in the headers from the blown pistons!!
Passenger side pistons look good, as expected.
Removed the Optima Yellow Top as it is being relocated to the rear right bin
Next up is the rack, ECS tensioner, a/c tensioner, crank pulley etc.
Removed water pump, ECS idler, etc.
That's all for tonight - resume teardown tomorrow night
