SO, engine was still running well, but my #3 intake kept tightening up on me. smog ports in the heads were stripped. figured i'd pull the engine and see what's up. first time opening up a Type IV. hoping that i'd just need a valve job...

okay, first surprise: the jugs measure 96mm across.

guess i wasn't in Bp afterall.


second surprise: there's a bunch of melted shit all over #3 piston (and a little over the rest of them). What the hell is this?

pin holes in the middle of 3 out of 4 pistons. cylinders look okay. #3 intake push rod has a weird gash in it.

ANY comments welcome. specifically, what is that junk in #3?
