Cylinder head
« on: April 19, 2008, 10:44:31 PM »
Anyone have any comments on the condition of this cylinder head?  One of these things is not like the other.





Closer...







All comments welcomed.

Thanks,

About what I figured, thanks!  Would a difference like this be attributable to idle circuit tuning or would it take prolonged running above idle to cause such discoloration?

thanks again
