I have one too, not quite so clean though. You near Atlanta?
Yup, near Athens, on the SC border.
The rest of the head isn't that clean. I took the rocker arm assembly off to replace the lower spark plug tube seals, and valve stem seals to try to slow down the oil burning. Bought the car from a friend, belonged to his wife. She abused the [censored] out of it. The first time I took the valve cover off to replace the valve cover gasket, everything in there but the tops of the spark plug tubes was solid black with hard, crusty deposits. The "dirty picture" I posted was after a year and a half of 3000 mile oil changes with half a quart of MMO thrown in. As you can imagine, the rings are stuck. I'll probably take the whole thing apart, and do the rings and bearings. On a limited income, so I want this thing to last another 200k.
