Well, I fill up at the old Co-op here, but this engine sat for about 40 years before I fired it up. I never took the head off 'till now. I think these deposits are much older than the past 2000 miles, as my plugs look fine, I put them in new when I started it up.
The valves are soaking right now. Hopefully it will scrape off easier tomorrow!
When I started it, the rings were frozen, and it was smoke city. I let it idle for some time before returning it to the road. It no longer smokes, and the bores are nice looking.
