After doing a compression check last weekend and getting 137psi in cylinder 1, 77psi in cylinder 2,and 141 psi in cylinder 3 i decided to pull the head today to see whats going on. after dealing with breaking about a dozen vacuum hoses, tearing a heater hose, stripping 2 head bolts, and stripping a torx bolt on the distributor i got the head off. I proceeded to flip the head over and surprised that cylinder 2 looked nothing like i thought it would. I was suspecting large amounts of carbon with lots of chips on the exhaust valve. Anyway here is what my combustion chambers looked like after removal ![]() ![]() ![]() to note, the entire egr system from the head to the egr valve, and the intake are plugged solid with carbon. |

Typically, our egr's are plugged. Nice pics. How far are you gonna take your head for the build? |

I got as far as you and decided to pull the pistons out. Found that one of them was cracked so I rebuilt the bottom end too. You can go to my webpage to see the build sheet with a price list of what I paid if that helps (100 pics on there as well)... |
