is this normal? bad? any idea wat would cause this?

 

Bad valve seals, bad valve job.

 

how can i fix this? price range?

 

bump

 

were you ovberheating. it could be a blown headgasket

 

looks like you were running rich or running fuel additives that casued the buildup in the chamber and on the valves. It also looks like you leaking some oil.

Since the head is off, I would replace the valve seals, resurface the head, get a new headgasket, check the block deck surface for flatness, and possibly look into getting a valvejob done; just to cover all areas.

Also check your PCV valve to makesure it hasnt gone bad which can cause it to blow oil all in the IM. Piston Rings could be another possibility.

 

yea it was overheating and needs a new gasket , how much would a valve job cost?
