I have been in the process of replacing the head on my ALH after a broken timing belt and life has of course gotten in the way of completing it quickly. I have had the head off for about 3 or 4 weeks and after a discussion with a customer at Oriellys I have become worried about the surfaces becoming corroded after being exposed to the air. Is this a valid possibility? If so how should I prep the cylinder walls before putting the new head on?
I am also in the process of figuring out how to clean the carbon deposits of the piston heads and the surface of the block for the head gasket. The block surface does not have carbon deposits but there is a bit of build up. Both are minimal but there. I have used seafoam to clean the intake manifold, is this a valid product to use for this? Is there something else better that I should order?
Any and all suggestions are appreciated.
