    Engine inspection with heads off – what do you see?

     



    Info:
    SBC with 300ish miles since last winter install of the engine (new head gaskets and external refresh)
    Rebuilt who knows when (seller says only a few thousand miles, I don’t agree) to .030 over
    Head gaskets were good (they were pretty new)
    I know I was running very rich
    There is no lip at all at the top of the cylinder bore
    I see there is cylinder wall scoring, but I don’t want to tear engine down further, so I am leaving it.


    How do I clean the crap and carbon off the heads and the cylinder tops?
    Do you see anything else of concern?
