[Shotimes] Deposits on the backs of the valves?

[Bruce Malachuk]

Nope I just have fluid in the 4 sets of valves that are closed in the
position that my engine was stopped in. I planned on pumping out the crap
and putting the intake back on really quick, get the engine warmed up and
then bump the engine with the intake off till I the other 2 sets closed.
Then let them cook in some berryman's for a while.

I want/need to check my rod bearings anyway. comming up on 90k
