[V8] Progress report 23 / what the !

[MORRALEE David]

I guess that my progress reports are pretty boring as I see there is
more interest in possible flood damage cars , or rubber molding or
fading could be due to flash photography ... I guess next time I will
have to post all the interesting pictures . Thanks for your mail Tony.

this weekend I cleaned up the block deck and pistons ..... I found some
disturbing things .
 
1) one of the piston heads had a large amount of carbon build up in the
recess for one of the exhaust valve  ...this was good to find as I was
able to clean out all the carbon ....this would of been disastrous if
the engine hadn't been cleaned up .
 
2) the passengers side, bank of pistons had all been slightly impacted
by the intake valves WTF&^% !!   
 
exhaust side    )  ((   Intake side 
                      )  ((     
 
so if this was the head of the piston and the brackets ( ) are the
recess for the valves : then the intake valves have been lightly
impacting the piston !! Ron I guess it wasn't a lifter ticking after all
.I thinking the PO had got the T Belt done by someone who didn't take
care of doing the job right.
 
The T-Belt that I took off the car was in good condition and not missing
any teeth so I don't believe it skipped while I've had the car .
