burnt heads

[96blackSHO]

well i was doing a tune up on a 3.2 tonight and i had to change the vavle cover gasket and the gasket around the spark plugs ( there was like 2 inches of oil in the tubes) and i took off the covers and the inside of the heads were redish orangish brownish.
what does this mean?



all input is helpful
thanks

Looks like typical pennzoil head, for whatever reason pennzoil leaves a nasty looking film on everything. Nothing really to worry about.

I dunno.. I think it looks just about like any other head with a good bit of miles on it... and used regular dino oil... kinda hard to tell from the pic in that light. I wonder whats in penzoil tho...

It's hard to tell with such small pictures!

Pictures are a little fuzzy, but everything looks normal to me. Here's one to compare with:

yeah, oil is nasty stuff. that's a normal engine that's been through a lot of dino oil. Synthetic doesn't stain nearly as bad, and if you run some seafoam through the oil, it should clean a lot of that off.

Curious... never heard of it, what is seafoam?

It's one of those cleaner additives... can go in the gas, oil, even into a vac line to clean out the intake/heads if you're careful about it.

I've only put it in my gas, mostly for the **** of it.

Oh boy, I never saw the big can!

That's the Excursion/Tahoe economy bottle . . .

Just run a little B-12 through your oil, that'll clean it (and EVERYTHING else) out!!






please don't your car may explode.

 

[thecrew2999]

dont ever run anything but oil in the oil pan.. those bearings are bad enough to start with.

Take a look at pennzoil and quakerstate, same Junk oil, different bottle. You wouldnt believe the amount of people that swear by it though, i sell auto parts and its one of the best sellers in my town.

The new synthetics from PenzState are suppose to be pretty good.

If you want a cheaper alternative to the B12 get some lacquer thinner.

I love seafoam. i use it in the gas tank, put it in my oil the day of my oil change and through my vacume lines. you notice MPG and powergains. For oil i use either mobil one or castroil Syntec. Im probly switching to royal purple soon
