i blasted the engine with walnut shells and under the red was some yellow , not sure what it was about

also some of the head bolts came out with the nuts do i just reinstall with vise grips??

thanks

you have the cylinder head removed from the engine.

take those bolts that came out, and run them down and back, to clear the threads, before you re-install. this will help you to not get a incorrect reading when you re-torque.

yes, that is what i do. take vise grips and re-install. remove nut from bolt and run it up and down, to clear threads.

yellow paint meant it was an industrial tractor, more than likely used by the county roads or in a construction outfit.

clean out the threads with a tap and some wd-40 or ATF to make sure theyre clean and so you get a good torque reading when you re-install them.
