Opening up the box!
135xxx mi in and my poor 1.5 is in pain. Poped the valve cover and to my horror i found this: [IMG]

This is a direct result of poor maint on my part, strict diet of random jiffy oil changes, and overall neglect. So now im gonna make it right. I wanna pull the engine and start fresh. Gonna replace what needs replacing & clean what needs cleaning.
Any input on getting engine out of bay is greatly appreciated. This car and engine has been very good to me. I wanna make it right again. This will be an engine rebuild thread.. lets go!
