Just rebuilt??????????? Awful lot of oil/carbon fowling on top of those pistons!!!!!!!!!!!!!

looking at the pics---it appears that there is an sizable amount of inexperience work on this engine---

What hasn't been addressed is that on cylinders #1 and #7---the intake port is next to a water passage in the intake manifold---a poor gasket /sealing match between the manofold/head surface would/could cause the oil fouling present and also fill 1 & 7 with water from the water passage port

well yes and so are 2 and 8 can you say ... It is a head slide...... with no deck pins for head to locate it... if it was down with out pins ????? that would open up the intake gap on that side ????......Yes... she is no looker ....jerry
