Also If you u look at picture of "middle of cylinder head" you can see the valves on 3rd and bottom ones and 2nd top ones are slightly opened.

Is something wrong?

love the look of your coolant passage ways. What coolant did you use?

I would suggest downloading the FSM, it has the information you need on how much you can take off before the head can no longer be used.

You can take the head to a machine shop to clean up and reassemble

Examining the old head gasket is usually the best clue to where it blew out. The "fire ring" area is the most critical.

Is that missing metal at the intake side of #3 or just some black gunk?

And yes the cooling system is really crudded up.

When the camshaft is left "in cylinder head" when the head is removed, there will be at least two pair of valves open at any given position.

I'm betting someone left the block exposed to the weather...like outside in the rain with the hood open.

Can I soak purple stuff and rinse with water to remove some of the rust inside the cylinder head?
