Help with my first engine build (5.9 Magnum)

Crazyness. I’ve never had that problem. Maybe Alaskan weather vs California desert?

Could be! Definitely a lot of moisture around here, they where pretty rusted. Before I started pulling them I read in a thread that you can just twist them out with needle nose pliers lol. I felt like I needed the jaws of life on a couple of them.
