Spiro used to run his I/C through his dishwasher. Of course, he was still a bacholer at the time .

Great, juuust Great! I thought I would get some " I've seen worse..but that is bad " I guess not. Is this a bad sign for the condition of this motor???? Or just what I should expect at 60k miles. Scrub Uh Dub Dub

Considering that you have the upgraded IC core i would say that it hasn't been on there for all 60K. Once you get the oil seperator on there it should help a lot.

WOW that is unbelievable! By far the worst I have seen posted. Looks like the stuff I used to patch the roof the other day. Good thing is it will clean up like new and then watch out! Gonna be a whole new ride.

I wonder at what mileage they swapped the old IC for the new one? I'm with these guys, there's been quite a few very filthy IC pic's posted. But yours wins 1st prize as the nastiest one yet. But hey, at least you got 1st place! but i'm sure you would have wanted it to be for something besides the dirtiest IC pic' posted to date. Like a couple other guys said, you should feel like your driving a new truck. Good luck with the clean up.

Wow, i gotta do mine real soon...

I bought my L from my buddy, who owned it for a year, and he never cleaned his.

I have 72K on the clock, and i'm betting mine is just as dirty.

How long of a process is it to take apart?

Buellie,

The remove, clean, and reinstall takes about two hours give or take.

With the blower removed, it is an excellent time to change spark plugs.
