I had a puff of oil after extended idling a couple weeks ago. So, instead of just doing valve stem seals, I figured I'd just pull the heads and have them freshened. When I got the DS head off, it looked like dogsh!t set on fire... wanted to puke. Is it as bad as it looks?

In one of the pics I think I can see the egg shape of the cylinder wall that Frank speaks of. Dammit. So, clean it up, redo the heads and rock on? Or do it right, pull it and completely go through it?


Fasteddy's advice is occasionally sound...
