Never seen a set this filthy. still amazed I made it. Will have to add this to the list of things to check before driving a car home.

Heads

Sombody lift this off me

That first photo is a little fuzzy. What's Andy doing in Mississippi?

Looks like that 914 sat next to the exhaust of the house clothing dryer....lot's of lint....or is that dead mice fuzz?

Amazing what you will find in there.

Mine looked like it had ingested a black halloween wig and dumped the pieces on top of the cylinders.

Don't remember if I found any candy or wrappers

Ken

Shoot Joe, you look like road kill!
hahah, glad you found my pet mouse I lost.

Turns out that most of the crud is just caked up oilsoaked dirt. Like the car was pulling a plow in te fields.

Got the heads cleaned up Actually can see through all the little air passages. Painted myself in a corner, by pulling heads and then realising I could have presure washed the long block. Maybe I can put the cylinders back in the holes and snug them down.

Now I have the Pistons and cylinders off and gingerly cleaning all the crap off the case. Ordering up new seals for exhaust ports.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 1.7L AND 2.0 EXHAUST PORT SEALS
Guess I should lap the valves just because one didn't pass the carb cleaner leak test. ever so slightly got damp on the other side of the valve.

Distributor O-ring (the cause of the mayhem) Already have Viton push rod seals, need to really scrub out the sealing surfaces.

About a mile of fuel hose. some of that stuff is scary bad.

At least I got me a plan most of this stuff is cheap. and I work for free.

do the fuel lines outside
