What's the best way/product that can really clean through all that? Q: The camshaft section & cams are stained with oil (apparently it wasn't changed often enough). Q: Anyone know if the QG18DE (series 2 N16) has a coolant drain plug for the engine block? I couldn't see anything in the manual about it. Q: What brand Gaskets / Gasket Kits & Head Bolts are worth looking into? I don't really want to spend big $$$ on high-end, even if they are top-quality, I just need something on the budget end but from a good manufacturer if that makes sense? It's only a daily car and doesn't have a whole-lotta value. The exhaust valves 1 and 2 are rough on the surface (see images) ,anyone know if it's likely deposits or corrosion? The intake valves on the same cylinders seem fine though. The headgasket was split at the section that separates cyl #1+2, and cyl #3+4. see picture here. The headgasket, I can't really tell from looking at it or the head/block what's going on. 002' feeler slipping through, but a did shine a light from one side & noticed a hairline amount coming though, so whether it's because I used a ruler instead of a proper 'straight-edge', hopefully it's not as bad. I used a Daytona ruler from Sydney tools to check for warp on the head. Will be taking into a machinist on Monday.
