Nope they were tight. And my engine doesn't have balance shafts.
Pulled the head tonight, cylinders still have hatch marks, so I'm happy about that. The pistons have some carbon build up on them along with the exhaust valves. Is there a safe way to remove that build up off the valves?
One thing I noticed is that on the inside of the intake manifold runners there is this gritty sand sh*t that I can rub off with my fingers. But its not sand, I don't know what it is.
I'm pulling the pistons tomorrow I'm leaning towards a wrist pin.
