Now to get the pan back off, remove the fuel pump and starter so I can power wash all the sludge out
Edit. Also remove freeze plugs too

That plunger was used on the db2 IP equipped engines. That yellow arrow splash thingy is for timing the IP

Got it all stripped down and washed up. and Boy did I make a huge mess!! wheeled it outside and the power washer plastered all that crud everywhere including covering me too! gave it a good blow job with my compressor, wheeled it back inside and coated the cylinders and crank area with some WD-40. I have it clean enough were I can remove the lifters and not get all that gummy goop all over.
Yeah the chain is loose, it will need to be replaced. I haven't taken it off yet, not till I have the new one here. the block still needs more cleaning, I am thinking about filling my pump sprayer with some diesel and using that with a small wire brush and a stiff bristle parts cleaning brush to clean up all the area where the lifters are, the piston tops, and the ring ridge area where all the carbon is. see if that will get all that stuff loose and washed out. then go at it again with the power washer.
as for the heads, I think I will set them in my parts washer and clean them there first, then use the power washer so I don't get too plastered with that gummy mess.

Got the heads all cleaned up. washed them in my parts washer then with the power washer. I am finally able to see the casting numbers on them now! lol they were all covered up with the gunk.
cast # 14057299 on both heads. from what I can find online they are from an 83ish 6.2l non-turbo engine. so from what I can tell, this engine has been apart before. 81 block and 83 heads, likely these heads are the original to the 84 burb this came from.
with this info, block cast # 14022660 date 10-29-81 and heads cast # 14057299 does any one know what the specs are and if this combination is good to just bolt on my turbo (GM-4 iirc) with turbo-master and run with it? are these saut after or just a run of the mill and I'm lucky they aren't cracked?

Tomorrow I have a lot of cleaning to do!! earlier when I was washing the engine block off, I parked the engine too close to the house!! my son's truck was in the way and I couldn't move it... I tarpped the front end so it wouldn't get plastered, but I failed to think about the house LOL
I have a portion of the exterior wall and a window that got plastered with all that gunk that was in the engine HAHA. gonna get the degreaser out and then scrub and spray down the house. lesson learned LOL

I wouldn't be surprised if both block and head are original to the burb. If those are big valve heads I wouldn't get carried away with power. Power usually means heat and those big valve heads were notorious for cracking between the valves

yes these heads have the large valves. I have not measured them, but I can. what should the large vs small OD measurements be?
Not too worried about getting big power, just reliability. as it is my 93 has all the power it needs even with it being worn out it has more power than my 95. If I need to install a pyrometer on the passenger manifold I can do that when the engine is out. as for boost, unless I put the pedal to the floor, I normally only see 5-7 psi boost out of it in normal every day driving. I have seen upwards of 10-12 psi when feeding it the onions, but that was only done when I was checking to see what the turbo master was set to (unloaded). I have never put any weight behind this truck simply because I didn't want to blow up what's left of the engine.
