It's on its way back together. The valve lash was unbelievably sloppy on one of the intake valves. I knew that my mom spent a few thousand dollars on work a few years ago but she didn't know the details. I can see that the heads had been pulled and had noted the absence of a cold-engine piston slap that I had mentioned to my parents years earlier.

Armed with those observations I decided to stop at valve adjustment. Everything else looks clean.

Yeah, it's adorable.
