914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Exhaust valve photos in car...

Posted by: RustyWa May 3 2003, 12:30 AM

Pulled the exhaust off the heads tonight.....and here are some photos of what I found. I'm not sure what I'm looking at....is this normal for a car with 95k miles on it? I have no clue if this engine has ever been apart. To me I thought white means lean?

If you look closely, you can see the 50mm bolts I used for plugging the air injection ports.

Lots of build up or something around the stem as it enters the chamber...

Damn.. that is a nice camera.

What do the exhaust pipes look like ?? This will give us/me a better understanding of how the car is running.

You looking for a tan/greyish burn.

The head pipe is what we where looking for. The muffler end on a 75-76 wont be a good example because it mixes the cylinders together.

See how it has a decent tan/grey color to it ?? This looks like a good running engine (at least on that cylinder) show me all four if you have time.

Looks like a good clean burning engine to me, nice tan color. In the heads the exhaust ports look normal, that black stuff is typical after 100k.
