Remember to service your car regularly

Not much to report as I've been busy working 7 days. Only time I get some day light is usually on sunday afternoons!

Ended up separating the head from the block and pulled it apart to see the condition of it as I will be rebuilding it anyway.

Wasn't very pleased with what I found:









Went and grabbed some E85 and put everything into a container overnight:




After a couple of wipes with a rag, this is what I was left with:






Cleaned and oiled for storage for the time being:


Now on to the head:
Pulled out the rocker arm shafts (for anyone doing this on a h22, remember to pull out the oil orifice or it won't come out!)




Valves/springs/retainers/keepers out:




Now a better view of what happens when you don't change your oil regularly:







In went some fresh E85 into a container and chucked the head in:





Left it in for 2 nights and the head turned into this:








That same container after 48 hours:
