O.k. before I bought this engine, I drove in the car. it had a lot of power, didn't burn oil and ran smooth. So, I was just going to do some mild upgrades. Rebuilding the whole thing just seems a little above my capabilities.
Of course when I took off the heads, things don't seem so nice. I see some pitting in the cylinder walls, in two of the cylinders. One piston looks like a valve hit it, and a couple pistons look as though there's chucks missing out of it. However there appears to be a lot of carbon so it's possible the carbon is just chipped out of that area.
I need your opinion. If I need to rebuild this whole thing, I just might scrap this whole project because I don't have the knowledge or money.
I'm sending some pictures so you guys can see what I'm seeing. Not to mention the white valves tell a story itself. running too hot, right?
urgh!
