A few months ago, not long after i got my car i changed my headers, i also decided to change my valve cover gaskets. This is what i found....

It looks like a lack of oil changes and the use of very inadequate oil. Also, the pcv hose had deteriorated and was leaking. Sarge suggested i substitute one quart of my regular oil with a quart of marvel mystery oil and that would help dissolve this garbage that has built up in my engine. He recommended that i repeat this every 1500 miles 4 or 5 times. Now im not sayin this wont work, thats not the purpose of this thread. The purpose of this thread is purely for technical reasons and maybe it will help out others who have purchased a car that has been neglected. I am nearing my first 1500 mile oil change. I will take pictures under the valve cover at each oil change to see if there is improvment. Hopefully, this will work as he said since i know a lot of us dont know much about oil and how it really works and effects our engine components. Stay tuned....
