    It's character..... Lol!

    I cleaned It up. I did not scrub too hard though. There is a silicone or some kind of smooth surface under all that gunk.

    Got some work done today though. Valve cover is clean and ready for installation.

    I do have some valves to replace. Everything was technically within spec but I think I can scoot the ones on the bottom up a size and get away with it. I haven't measured yet. It was getting cold so I went in before I caught a cold.

    Well I'm getting better at pulling shims. It only took me an hour to do the whole engine. Sadly it didn't make the shims any cheaper. I did go ahead and pull the trigger on the air raid tube as well. My tube has been falling out for the past year or so because it's a little on the short side. I figured I might as well fix that while I've got everything apart.

    It lives!! Got rid of the miss and the valve adjustment gave her some pep in her step. Now to get rid of the holes in the exhaust. Damn salt.

    As I was told by someone some time recently, we need to stop expecting reliability from these older higher mileage vehicles...
    I sympathize though, at least it not an engine issue this time?
