thought some of you might like to see this, 110,000 miles water pump weeping, manifold coolant leank and head gasket (leak sealed by bars and held great, but needed to all the work at once.

FYI, I did two seafoam treatments in the last 18K miles or so, the valves looks clean but the carbon on the pistons and head is pretty heavy. just an observation. everything else looks pretty good for the milage. |
What happened to the engine? Sure is a lot of sludge and carbon.

That engine looks about par for the course for a cast aluminum engine with questionable maintenance with dino oil and regular gas for 80k miles. No sludge just varnish which is harmless and the pistons tops and valves will clean up fine. Just stick with a good HDEO like rotella, delo, delvac, M1 TDT etc.
