Engine inspection with heads off – what do you see?
Info:
SBC with 300ish miles since last winter install of the engine (new head gaskets and external refresh)
Rebuilt who knows when (seller says only a few thousand miles, I don’t agree) to .030 over
Head gaskets were good (they were pretty new)
I know I was running very rich
There is no lip at all at the top of the cylinder bore
I see there is cylinder wall scoring, but I don’t want to tear engine down further, so I am leaving it.
How do I clean the crap and carbon off the heads and the cylinder tops?
Do you see anything else of concern?
Mike was a great guy with a lot of knowledge and always had good things to say. May he rest in peace. I hope he's up there playing with hot rods now as well.
