Hello, i am trying to change headgasket on my 5ME engine. Right now i am trying to get it clean enough to be put together, but i am not too happy with how the surface on the block is looking. I have scraped with razors, used scotch brite pads with different kind of solvents but getting it absolutely clean seems almost impossible. There is some pitting around the coolant passages that i am a bit unsure of how bad it is... Getting the engine out and having it resurfaced is not something i would look forward to do...
Since i don't have much experience with what you can get away with in these circumstances i would appreciate some comments and thoughts on what you guys think it looks like and how you would have proceeded :thumbsup: Is there any chance that i can get away with just putting it together looking like this and be fine for a year or two before having to fix it again?
