Some pics from the gasket job. Now just have to wait on parts and clean/p&p!

Definitely didn't expect that kind of carbon buildup with how well it runs...29.43 mpg consistently on the highway :]

how many miles? Makes me real afraid to even touch mine.

Wow, worse then I thought. Now finish it up

I take care of it, so the first 85k of it's life must have not been so hot. And Phil, it's got 127,xxx miles right now. I was only leaking about 1/2 quart of oil every 5,000 miles from the valve covers, and leaking a good amount of coolant, so I just chose to do the whole set of gaskets, so I could p&p the heads and intakes.

I've never seen inside the cylinders before, it looks cool. How would someone clean them up a bit or is that just the way it has to stay? I'm still a bit young and have never taken an engine apart.

Make sure you clean the cooling system.
