Well I thought I would make a quick update fwiw.
It looks good!
Whew.
No corrosion at the head or block…
Surfaces clean…nothing bizarre.
Came apart properly.
Gotta love the tech now. Not available when i was doing this last.
Detailed hi res flash photos taken revealed no block cracks or cylinder scoring, etc.
Everything looks normal.
Been paranoid about cracks…
Of course more to analyze, but it looks good.
So thankful, if not surprised to be honest.
Anyway, snapped some photos i thought I’d add for those searching in the future as I’ve never found any.
Not wishing to reinvent wheel either as there is info available in archuves, but some notes to those doing it first time…
It seems like binding is inevitable.
Have small blocks and sheets of wood handy.
Despite efforts mine bound at front, as example.
May have been stuck stud crud.
I continued to pour goop down stud holes, but it still bound at front right corner, even placing bottle jack at front it strangely torsioned the rear completely upwards.
Anyway, remember aluminum is soft.
These surfaces are paramount.
Remove plugs and rotating clockwise turn engine to Top Dead Center.
Stick rags down front beneath sprockets.
Remove locking wire and tie them with a zip tie at center.
Also, i recommend not playing around, just remove the camshafts to recess valves.
You’re certainly going to need to replace cam bearings anyway.
You don’t want to bend valves.
Also, when an end comes up always use blocks of wood to keep it propped up.
Should an end come up above studs as mine did, insert sheet of wood. You don’t want those studs gouging the head surface as you’re manipulating the jacks, letting it up and down and around etc…
Eventually you’ll get it and the head will rest at the top of studs to remove.
I’m not a heavy guy, athletic, so i can hop in there and pull it off like a redneck, but get a friend and you both can get it out.
Cover alk w blankets etc…
Anyway, last image as i covered it for night awaiting friend for help next day.
Looks like cathedral … Appropriate i thought. 
Anyway, fwiw
Kind regards
