was that a 2.0L with stock D-Jet? looks like it was running way rich ...

Bank 1 / 2

And 3 / 4

close up of #4

All look like this

Push rods are thicker aluminum with metal ends. Don't remember my bus (hydrolic lifters) looking like this. No picture sorry

maybe 3/8 or 7/16 in diameter

Are they stock???

Comments from those who have seen inside of lots of these?

Ring ridge looks reasonable. Is all this carbon from oil or is the EFI I got with this motor likely whacked? Just wondering.

Its been burning the HELL out of oil!! That thick goopy stuff isn't just carbon!

Also looks like you had some healthy head leaks- lenmme guess, it had head gaskets installed???

I got your PM, when do you want to talk??

BTW- I see a crack in one of the heads already, right near the spark plug.... After those are bead blasted and put in the oven I bet there are a dozen more- looks well neglected from here!
