Spoona_Jay21 Posted September 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Everything looks to have typical wear patterns. nothing out of the ordinary. looks like everything was oiling well. i was able to get some pics of the cam.also cleaned the Carbon off the Valves. didn't get many pics of those, but they all looked normal so i'm not too concerned.along with that i sanded down and put some clear over some piecessome pics of a few of the contacts on the rocker arms...Then i got tired of everything being dirty and grimey. so i took some steel wool to the rocker arms and valve springs and cupsand gave the same treatment to the distributor. alnd painted the clips black. much better than what they were.And i have one more question for the M10 guys out there, my rear Coolant outlet below the distributor if a bit corroded.Is there a way to pull this out? is it screwed in? pressed in? I just don't want to mess up the head my trying to pull it off when it isn't supposed to come off.thanks again for the help and support. =D Quote Link to comment
