What kind of airfilter has been used in the past?
Hi Goldnsx, now and in the last 30.000 kms the original Oem filter, in the previous 90,000 km I do not know...
these are more the remains of oil and residue in the admission bucket and admission butterflies

also, very dirty one of the filters

when I started to disassemble the injectors, and first of all, just moving them, started to lose gasoline by the top of the injectors, the rubbers are damaged and in poor condition

I am already cleaning everything, changing new joints and I have taken to clean the injectors
I will keep you informed
Ups, lucky you, the o-rings of the fuel injectors look to be the first ones. I change mine every 10 years or so. High recommended for anybody out there.
Those metal bits don’t look to good.
What is that you’ve picked up???
There's a lot more coking up in your inlet than mine. I think in this case, a wise decision to strip the parts down for a major overhaul. I'd get your injectors professionally checked out, if they're in that condition. Hopefully I'll get my cam covers back for the easter break and with a bit of luck, even get the car back up and running.
Hi Pride, there are no metal parts, it's just a lot of dirt and deposits of oil and oil clumps.
I am again assembling everything, it will be ready in a couple of days, with all the new gaskets
the injectors have cleaned them inside and also outside with ultrasound, the rust has disappeared, it seems that two of them did not work well

When everything is ready and I will drive again, I will tell you if there has been improvement

Hi Wix,
Reminds of one of my past winter refresh projects ... I took all the front compartment brackets out, prepared them and then had them all powder coated in an aluminuim finish ... very rewarding work when its all done ... oh, and keep the faith as the weather is bound to break by June ;)
regards, Paul
Hi Paul,
Yes, that's another one of the jobs on the list, although I did buy two new radiator top mounts amongst all the parts I needed to do the engine re-fresh and I had to remove the radiator to replace the top drain tap, that had snapped off last year.
Cheers
Cam covers & Plenum cover back from having a nice new coat of crackle finish applied.
