Okay so ive been stripping my block for the past week and i have a few questions for u guys. I have the whole block disassembled and plan on hot tanking it this week before i start the rebuild. i have a few questions concerning some parts and ill show you what im talking about.
#1: I want to make sure this is a safe place or right way to store my parts.
the crank isnt like his anymore, its standing on the flywheel side straight up and down. since wood is softer it shouldn't warp my crank right?

#2: Any sings of crank walk? i cant see any sort of wear on the thrust bearing, but maybe someone else can?

#3: heres the valves, one of the pictures of the other side didnt up load, ill try to get it on here asap. these are the valves on the left side (passenger side when head is installed) Any visible signs of bent valves?

#4: Now here is my main concern. Look closely at the topside (intake valve side). U can see where the valves hit my pistons. its like this on all 4 of them, although not all of them have really deep impressions. this one is the farthest left (passenger side) piston. is this a major concern? will i need new pistons and valves?

thanks for all the input i need as much info as possible as i want to do this build the right way. i have too many friends with DSMs and almost none of them run correctly. haha
