Only thing I thought was odd was the intake runners in the head had some tar-like sludge on the bottom of them. I think it may be too rich at part throttle cruising. It always felt like it wanted to stumble when cruising around. Besides that everything else looks good. I thought it would be a little cleaner on the valves. But not bad for what it has been through. 150+ dyno pulls, 40 or so passes last year and who knows how miles Andy put on it while it was down in SD. I always wondered why the back seat stunk.

valve timing was off a hair.

E98 will clean those valves right up. Mine looked cleaner after running all season than they did when I put them in.

Took about 40+ lbs out last night and today. Everything else is pretty much stripped already.

Just weighed the car;
No engine
No Tranny
No Fuel
No turbo/exhaust

2025 lbs. should be right around 3100 lbs. when back together.
