well i started my tear down on my h/c/i and was a little stunned the car has 119k and the motor has no lip at all on any of the cylnders and I can still see and feel the cross hatch and the carbon build up I have seen time and time again working at a wrecking yard is just about non existant except for a little specs on the valves ill post up some pics tell me what you think guy's
the dirty motor part is that the little gaskets under the intake were hard as a rock and shrunk

Yeah, the stock EFI system is so perfectly calibrated that if you take care of them and do the routine maintenence, then they will be nice back and last a long time!

not uncommon to find such..I paid 100 bucks for a roller motor recently with similar miles and shape internally

My '94 GT has around 125 - 130K on it and a few weeks ago I had the oil pan pulled and the pan gasket replaced... The motor looked really clean and kept up... Also found it had a double roller chain on it... SAWEEET!!!
