I recently pulled my motor for the first time. I'm not 100% sure on the history of the car, but I bought it bone stock so I can't say for certain what has/hasn't been done.
I pulled the head just to check everything out since I planned on doing the head gasket anyway. I don't have a lot of experience with rotating assemblies, but I'm pretty comfortable with everything else. Based on the pictures below, does my short block need attention ASAP or should I just run it as-is until I blow it up? I'm going to be shooting for around 400whp if that makes a difference.
Sorry for the poor quality cell phone pictures. I can take better shots if you guys need them. Thanks!
