Nice one.
Yeah about $40 or $50 total............but with a projected $200 or so (new timing cover / chain / ete etc etc) it's turning into a putz.
That, combined with no lack of places that NEED $$$ thrown at them and this projcet is stalled and starving. That's why i'm talking about stuff I can do now like cleaning the valves up......honestly I can buy SOME parts now, but not ALL of them and I plan on buying ALL of them at once so , if for no other reason, I only pay shipping once because ENGNBLDR combines shipping.

Went to AUTOZONE.
Bought Brakleen cleaner. Bought a headlight bulb for the wife's 4runner too. Saw that valve tool $6.99. Also saw the spark plug tap, I think $6.99 also. Did NOT find the valve compound stuff, probabaly will just order that stuff.

but I should clean the valves with the brake cleaner 1st to remove all the carbon, right? And i could do the piston tops with the brake cleaner too, right?

Sure....I'd watch how much I put on the pistons though. Just me. I don't think you want too much leaking down past the rings. But that's just me being me.

OK....did some cleaning ith the brake cleaner stuff......
I'll say a few things......
#1......don't get that stuff in your eye......after the initial 5 minutes of intense burning, it only is a little swollen........yeah, usually I'm smarter than that but I din't expect it to spray right back at me but, yeah, a little ricochet shot to the eyball.
#2......yeah, should use that stuff outside, not in a basement. Was going to have my oldest son help me, but after I read the vapor warnings and inhaled quite a bit myself I told him to stay put. He has asthma and I didn't want to make a problem.
#3.......exhaust valves are really crapped up........intake ones are cleaning up really easily but not the exhaust ones.
#4........that stuff cuts through grime REALLY NICE!!!! I need a pressure washer loaded with it.
pics to follow...................

in Autozone that valve compound is usually in the same isle with the rtv, anti-sieze etc. Or you can ask your friendly store manager where the stuff is located. I had to do that when I pick up my plastigauge from there.

Man this is the WAR & PEACE of rebuilds 
now wheres the pics? I want to see the swollen eye Damn near ready to drive up and give you a hand on this thing but my weekends till middle of December are booked up trying to raise money for kids with little or no chance of Christmas in the area, It's the only thing I like about Christmas I hate it other wise I am the local Grinch so this is my way of trying to make it a fun time. Raised $1000 bucks so far in 3 weekends so off to a good start
