Starting to get hot in AZ. Is 96 today.
Was in the garage this morning and pulled the exhaust, valve covers, and heads. As well as vacuum most the dust and dirt around the engine.
Lots of carbon buildup but the walls are smooth. Didn't ever turn it over yet since I got it just to be safe and glad I did.
I wasn't originally thinking about pulling the pistons and redoing everything but I may consider it. I have no idea how many miles are on this thing. Heads look good and golden brown so it's got that going for it.
May just say heck it and run it as well.
