    Looks like these cam holders were never washed in the past.


    Most of the grooves for the oil jet were covered in black sticky residue.

    Despite the dirty valve covers, the internal engine components such as camshaft holders, holder plates, etc were reasonably clean that is very good news.


    Backed off all of the valve adjusters and removed the TB.

    Very clean engine.


    Although the rear bank is covered in light brown, it will easily come off by simply wiping off with the fingertip.
