Re: Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic

I took the head apart today, so that means more carnage pics.

I'm starting to get discouraged. I just keep finding more and more things that are going to cost money.

This is the combustion chamber of the cylinder that dropped the valve.


Bent valves I think these are the intake valves from cly. 4


wear on the cam journals I'm starting to think I might have had a oiling issue some time before the rod went . hopefully these can be polished but I'm not getting my hopes up.


E85 "black goo" build up only on the cly that the rod blew. I think this might have been the cause of the failure.


you can see all the other injectors are clean except #2 that blew.


"black goo" build up in #2 intake port but not #1
