Here is a picture of what I found when I removed the valve cover. Can anybody tell me what this is a product of, could it have caused damage to the engine? Is it worth going ahead and fixing the head gasket?



TIA

 

bring it to a machine shop and have them disassemble it, hot tank it, mill the head and reassemble it. It only cost me $60 at a machine shop in San Pablo.

If anything needs replacing, I have a extra head that is still complete. You need to swap over the internals though because the spark plug threads are fucked.

 

Thanks mang!

 

Ehh.... I would just try some seafoam if I were you.

I wouldn't spend too much money on that engine when you can find another for cheap.

I say run a bunch of seafoam through it and see if that helps.

 

the sea foam won't help a messed up head gasket. Since the head is coming off, you might as well do it right.
