You might also run a can of BG44K through your fuel system to clean all
the carbon out from your valves, your combustion chamber and exhaust.  I
was amazed at the amount of carbon that came out of the engine in my
car.  It had puffs of carbon in the exhaust for a tank or two after as
it was pushing all the soot out the tailpipes.

How do the rockers and push-rods look? much wear?  Any bends?  How Much
sludge on top of the head?
