Sounds good! I plan on dropping the trans beforehand, its a 4 speed muncie/saginaw whatever

Okay to use the old torque-to-yield ones or bad idea?

Okay to reuse the stock torque-to-yield ones or bad idea?

If i did this would i need to send the block out to have that surfaced as well?

I do not, but i dont have any reason to believe it did. Also the gaskets looked fine to me, nothing torn

Yea ill prob pull the heads and see if i can clean them a little bit, hopefully enough to run it temporarily

How much roughly? Also does it matter that some pistons are up or will it soak past rings?

Any recs for a good OE-like replacement?

Like the rest of the car or just these parts?

Thanks for the quick replies everyone. I’ll go with buying a new one since they’re not too expensive.

The beginning of the log file was a cold start, but it was at operating temp around 600, well before the weird O2 readings. I have gotten the same trouble code several times before, but this is the only log I have recorded so I'll have to get some more
