[Shotimes] Air intake cleaning and resealing cylinder head cover

You dont want to put any brake parts cleaner down the intake .. where the valves  are.

Thats a big no no ... brake parts cleaner acts as a disolvant and can run down your cylinder walls over your bearings ... and can creat a hydralock situation .. which means when u try to start the car ... u r trying to compress the brake parts cleaner that hasnt evaportad .... and it wont compress .... so u bend something and ruin a motor.

Including building your motor .. I have worked on prob over 100 motors in the past few years ... my first motor .. ever .. i worked on .. and i did this .. bad choice on my part

>Here is the current state of affairs at disassembly. I'm in the process of locating new rubber grommits for the cylinder head covers. Not planning to remove the covers, just want to address the visible leaks first. In the first picture, you can see that I've cleaned one of the bolts already as an experiment.
