After quite some time, I have gotten back into the garage and pulled apart the engine head and cylinders. So far the casualties in the screw department are starting to mount. The metal just gives under the pressure of either a screwdriver or the drill, so the next tool coming up will have to be a manual impulse driver. Although I have started to pick up on the art of extracting stripped screws, it is time consuming and I'd rather avoid it if at all possible.
Aside from the screw issues, the cylinders and pistons look ok, aside from some nice thick carbon build up. Hopefully once that gets cleaned up it'll look nice and undamaged. There aren't any obvious wear marks on the pistons or the cylinders, so all looks good in that department.
Mmm, carbon!
