Yeah, looks like you may have survived unscathed. I should have clarified, remove the caps and cams, as the aluminum head bears the brunt of oil starvation. But those look OK. Not great, but ok. Looks like a little scoring but if the head journals are ok, send it.

If everything checks out I’ll be sending the head and the BP05 Block to a machine shop to get looked over and checked for straightness, then it’ll be time to start putting everything together.
Last thing I need to check today is the condition of the turbo.
Any advice when checking that? I’ve never owned or worked on a turbo car in my life(NA or SC is all I know) so any help with that is greatly appreciated.

I’ll be getting everything checked over at a machine shop shortly so I’ll know if anything is out of wack that can’t be discerned by eye at that time.
