How much is too much buildup? Hello,
I've recently found a LS1/T56 combo and I had begun some disassembly for cleaning and inspection purposes.
I noticed that Cylinder 7's intake runner had a much larger amount of buildup on the walls than any other runner. Below are two pictures of Cylinder 7's runner and one from Cylinder 5 for comparison.
Supposedly the engine has 61k miles.
Is this a concern? Does the PCV system deposit more on the Cylinder 7 runner than any other?
I did pull the valve covers and everything had a nice golden color, with no black or buildup on the retainers, rockers, or springs.
Thank you,
~ Kip
