Default Does this look normal? (56K maybe??)

This is my throttle body off of a B16A, should it have that much carbon build up on it?

Give some more info on it. (last cleaning, year, etc.)

If it hasn't been cleaned since 1989 I'd say it looks pretty good

What are your intake valve clearances set at? If they are set too tight some combustion gasses will get pushed back int the IM. All of that stuff is passing by your injectors too so check and see if those are clean.

The pic you hosted looks normal from what I have seen, so dont panic. Even the back of my tb plate looks like that.
