V8 block deck with head removed, green coolant pooled on pistons…

Close-up down onto a V8 engine block deck with the cylinder head removed, showing three bore openings pooled with bright green coolant on top of the pistons. The old head gasket is still laid over the deck, the exposed pushrods and valvetrain sit at right, and one piston crown is caked with debris and carbon.
