Sure looks like it was burning oil. I hope that was from valve guide seals and not rings.

That looks like the typical condition of slant sixes that have been running the "lean-burn" ignition and carb. Poor spark control, poor mixture control, poor timing control. Clean off the carbon, dump the computer controlled ignition and carb, and the motor will run MUCH better.


Windows- they're what make a van worth owning!

I feel for ya. I need to either do an engine swap on my Jeep or go through the old engine and I really don't want to. I just got new axles in my Saab and my wife's drivers side electric window stopped working on her Rover. It fell down so I have it propped up inside with a couple pieces of wood. I swear, I'll never get to my van like I planned because everything else needs something!
