I was just courious to see how my 375K looked on my 98 12 valve, Well don't seem to look the best.
All six of my intake valve keepers were pulled though.
All of the tops of the pistons tops on the sides were coated heavy with soot, In not sure as if it was from the top ring not sealing or is common
Found 3 of the cyls with skuffing on them. I couldn't get my fingernail to catch on it
Then the main bearings are not even wore but the rod bearings have the upper bearings are wore to the copper what isn't a supirsed at all for this many miles.
So i am planning of running main studs, updated rod bolts and a block stiffener. Pistons i have no idea on because i read and read and seems like everyone has a reason to bash the other style.
