Well I got bored today and since I cannot find anyone in town that rents an engine hoist I went ahead and took the intake and head off just so I could feel like I was acomplishing something on the car.
Looks like the engine has possibly seen a bit of detonation on 1 cyl. Looks as if gravel got in there and scuffed the head and piston up. Cyl wall looks fine though. I have never seen the results of detonation, so let me what you think. Everything else appears to be fine. BTW the engine was last rebuilt in the mid 80's according to previous owner.
